Summary

This study assessed microplastic contamination in seawater and surface sediments from Antarctic coastal areas near research stations. While particle concentrations were generally low, the types of polymers identified were consistent with station activities, indicating that even isolated research outposts contribute measurably to local microplastic pollution.
