A protocol was developed for consistency in the analysis of sediment for microfibers from twelve locations around Lake Allatoona. Sediments were obtained in the winter of 2021/2022 when the lake water was at its lowest. Lake Allatoona is manmade, fed by a river and flows into a river via a power plant. A wastewater plant discharges into the lake. Results will indicate if a concentration gradient of microfibers exists in the sediments as samples are measured further away from the wastewater plant.
