Microplastics can deposit and linger within riverbeds for as long as seven years before washing into the ocean, a new study has found. Evanston, IL, Jan 14, 2022.- Because rivers are in near-constant motion, researchers previously assumed lightweight microplastics quickly flowed through rivers, rarely interacting with riverbed sediments. Now, researchersContinuar Leyendo
