Microplastic and Phthalate Concentrations in Water and Turtles at Rainbow Springs, FL.

This project will conduct the first in-depth study of microplastics and plastic-related chemicals in Rainbow Springs, testing both the water and resident turtles to reveal whether these pollutants are entering the food web. The findings will pinpoint contamination sources and challenge assumptions about spring purity, helping guide future protection and statewide monitoring strategies.
