    This paper reports on work which aimed to quantitatively assess the relative concentrations and types of microplastic delivered from differed sources to a second order river. The study was undertaken in a mixed landuse area within a rapidly urbanising catchment in Malaysia. Over a six-week period, water samples were collected from road culverts and drains in residential and industrial areas across the area to assess microplastic concentrations, while inputs from atmospheric deposition and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were also quantified.
