Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most heavily polluted regions. Here we
comprehensively review the current state of microplastic pollution in the Mediterranean Sea …

Microplastic (MP) particles can be found all around the planet, even in Antarctica where they
can be locally originated or transported by marine currents and winds. In this …

Although Antarctica is the most isolated continent on Earth, its remote location does not
protect it from the impacts of human activities. Antarctic metazoans such as filter-feeding …

Plastic contamination in the Southern Ocean is a growing issue. This study provides the first
comprehensive analysis of marine microplastics (MPs)(0.1–5 mm) in surface sediments in …

Plastic pollution has emerged as a growing environmental concern, affecting even the most
remote regions of the planet as the Antarctic continent, endangering its ecosystem and …

Microplastics in seawater and fish from the Baltic Sea were analyzed. The significant
contribution of the study is due to extensive collection of fish and surface water samples from …

Global microplastic pollution has garnered widespread attention from researchers both
domestically and internationally. However, compared to other regions worldwide, little is …

Marine microdebris (MD) seem to be widespread in benthic invertebrates, even in the most
remote areas of the planet such as Antarctica, although the information available is still very …

Litter pollution is a growing concern, including for Antarctica and the species that inhabit this
ecosystem. In this study, we investigated the microplastic contamination in three seal …

Mountain salts produced from the highland region in NE Sarawak have a market value and
also provide basic income to the communities. During the salt-making process, microplastics …
