Detailed Description
Physical Scientist James Romano and Hydrologist Hailey Trompeter sampling an Underwood Creek Tributary from an overlook using a sampling pole near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Photo shows the entirety of the sampling system from afar.
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).
