The goal of this study was to compare between high and low population periods, the ability of the Penn State Water Reclamation Facility to remove microplastics from treated wastewater. It is hypothesized that periods of higher population will result in more microplastics in treated wastewater. Samples were collected on November 17 and 29, 2022. These dates were selected based on their proximity to football games and the Thanksgiving break from November 20-26, 2022.
