Scientist holding column during microplastics sampling effort in Milwaukee
Detailed Description
Hydrologist Hailey Trompeter holds the column containing the net and water flowing out of the copper flow meter during a microplastics sampling effort in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
This microplastic study is a subproject within the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District Phase 6 Study - Continuous Real-Time Streamflow. The sampling is contributing to provide data and address a primary objective of this study which is to characterize types and sources of microplastics in the Milwaukee area based on land use characterization (residential, industrial, etc).
