Microplastics in
​LA County Stormwater

Picture
The main objectives of this project are to characterize microplastics pollution and contribute to the development of a microplastics budget for coastal rivers and streams in Los Angeles County, California. Specifically, we assess the contribution of stormwater by monitoring microplastics at LAC mass emission stations (MES) and refining microplastics stormwater monitoring methodologies. This project leverages existing microplastics monitoring, analysis, and modeling projects at UCR, and LAC Public Works (LACPW) stormflow monitoring effort and infrastructure.

Students: Haley Johnson, Hannah Hapich


Funding: Los Angeles County Safe Clean Water Program: Central Santa Monica Bay WASC, Lower Los Angeles River WASC, Lower San Gabriel River WASC, South Santa Monica Bay WASC; USDA Hatch Program

Partners: Los Angels County Flood Control District
