A Smart Environment Monitoring System for Mitigating Marine Littering
Summary
This study analyzed microplastic contamination in the gills, liver, and muscle tissue of commercially important fish species from a coastal fishery, finding polymer particles primarily concentrated in gill and liver tissues. Polyester and polyethylene were the predominant polymer types identified by FTIR spectroscopy, consistent with sources in the broader coastal environment.
Environmental monitoring and management have received remarkable attention in recent years, since climate change constitutes a ubiquitous issue that needs to be tackled, as soon as possible. Especially, marine plastic pollution has been widely
