Are you collecting any plant samples (swabs or maybe even taking whole leaves) for later analysis of particulate pollution? I think something like 30% of microplastic pollution comes from car tires, right? Seems like that could probably travel pretty far on the wind and impact wildlife even away from roads.

Very cool! I knew some folks in grad school who studied diesel PM on roadside plant leaves but it never occurred to me until just now that microplastics could have similar effects. It's no surprise that the experts would've realized the possibility much earlier!
