Résumé

The settling of microplastics (MPs) in the initial acceleration fall stage, i.e., before reaching the terminal settling velocity, has not been investigated, which is however important for understanding MP transport and fate. MP disks sized 3-5 mm, of three shapes and made of three polymers (1.038-1.343 g/cm
