Abstract

Polymer Coated Urea (PCU) is an effective fertilizer.

Microplastics, from a wide range of waste materials, pollute water bodies.

One potential source of microplastics are from PCU fertilizers if the coatings are transported overland into water bodies.

Various urban landscape systems vary in the potential for surface runoff.
