URBAN FLOODING IS FLUSHING MICROPLASTICS INTO THE OCEANS FASTER THAN THOUGHT

都市の flooding is 原因（となる）ing microplastics to be 紅潮／摘発するd into our oceans even faster than thought, によれば scientists looking at 汚染 in rivers.

水路s in Greater Manchester are now so ひどく 汚染するd by microplastics that 粒子s are 設立する in every 見本 - 含むing even the smallest streams.

This 汚染 is a major contributor to contaminat イオン in the oceans, 研究員s 設立する as part of the first 詳細（に述べる）d catchment-wide 熟考する／考慮する anywhere in the world.

Scientists 実験（する）d 40 場所／位置s around Manchester and 設立する every 水路 含む／封じ込めるd these small 有毒な 粒子s.
