Microplastics in the Oceans: Current Levels and Future Projections
Recent studies have reported the presence of pelagic plastic fragments with diameters <5 mm in the open oceans including polar waters, marginal seas, and coastal waters. Importantly, micro plastics might act as a transport vector of chemical pollutants into the marine ecosystem, due to the absorption of pollutants onto their surfaces. Methodology The researchers conducted surveys […]
