Collect water from taps, filtration plants and tube wells around Multan, count and classify microplastic particles, and compare sources.

Scope

Design a sampling plan with controls to avoid contamination.
Filter, stain and count particles under a microscope; classify by size and shape.
Compare sources statistically and relate results to treatment steps.

A strong, publishable project for chemistry or environmental science students.
