Monitoring and Assessment of Microplastic Pollution in Coastal Zones: Sampling Methods and Spatial Distribution Characteristics

2025

Summary

This review examines sampling methods and spatial distribution characteristics of microplastic pollution in coastal zones, synthesizing approaches for monitoring these key environmental interfaces. Researchers found that coastal zones serve as major sinks and dispersal areas for microplastics, with sampling methodology significantly influencing reported concentrations and distribution patterns.

With the widespread use and disposal of plastic products, microplastics have emerged as a significant environmental pollutant garnering global concern.Coastal zones, as key interfaces where terrestrial pollutants accumulate, serve as major sinks and dispersal areas for microplastics.Due to their small particle size, wide distribution,
