Despite the relatively rich literature on the omnipresence of microplastics in marine
environments, the current status and ecological impacts of microplastics on global Marine …

Microplastics pollution in marine environments is concerning. Microplastics persist and
accumulate in various sections of the ocean where they present opportunity for …

Plastic pollution has become a global problem for marine ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs)
are consumed by several marine organisms, including benthic and pelagic fish species that …

In 2010, Indonesia estimated as the second-largest country in the world that donates plastic
to the sea. This study aims to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of …

Abstract Ecuador's Galapagos Islands and their unique biodiversity are a global
conservation priority. We explored the presence, composition and environmental drivers of …

The role of microplastics (MPs) in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is
increasingly attracting global research attention due to their unique ecological and …

Marine microplastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental problems we face. The
growth of plastic production has not ceased since the 1950s and it is currently estimated that …

Due to their ubiquitous presence, size and characteristics as ability to adsorb pollutants,
microplastics are hypothesized as causing a major impact on smaller organisms, such as …

Despite their representativeness, most studies to date have underestimated the amount of
microfibers (MFs) in the marine environment. Therefore, further research is still necessary to …

Abstract 15 filtration samples were collected at eight locations onboard the RV Sonne
(cruise SO279 in 2020) from 6 m water depth using a fractionated stainless-steel filtration …
