Investigating PCB, PFAS, and Microplastics in Urban Runoff Contributing to the Rio Grande near Albuquerque, New Mexico
Stormwater outfalls in Albuquerque collect urban runoff from precipitation events which include physical materials and chemical contaminants that contribute directly into the Rio Grande. Among these contaminants are polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), present in consumer and industrial products, some of which were banned decades ago but are still found...
