Although atmospheric transport and deposition could be an important pathway of terrestrial pollutants to the ocean, little information concerning presence distribution these suspended microplastics in marine air is available. We investigated, for first time, occurrence (SAMPs) west Pacific Ocean. In this study, spatial distribution, morphological appearance, chemical composition were studied through continuous sampling during a cruise. SAMPs abundance ranged from 0 1.37 n/m3, median 0.01...
A new technique involving large-volume (10 m3) samples of seawater was used to determine the abundance microplastics (MPs) in water column West Pacific Ocean and East Indian Ocean. Compared conventional sampling methods based on smaller volumes water, data yielded values for deep-water that were at least 1–2 orders magnitude lower. The suggested limited bulk currently surface are insufficient obtain accurate estimates MP deep water. Size distribution indicated lateral movement MPs into...
Atmospheric transport has been recognized as an important route for microplastics (MPs) entering the ocean since early 2019s, yet little data of their distribution patterns in marine air are currently available. In this study, we conducted continuous measurements atmospheric MPs boundary layer across western Pacific Ocean. Results suggested that synthetic comprised 25.89% total particles, with most being cotton and cellulose (51.68%). Research revealed microfibers (22.54%) higher than...
