А.Е. Глушко

Summary

Researchers assessed microplastic concentrations and physical characteristics in the Azov Sea, one of the shallowest seas in the world and a significant fishery for the region. The findings contribute to understanding how enclosed or semi-enclosed seas accumulate plastic pollution, with potential implications for seafood safety in nearby communities.

Pollution of the marine environment by microplastics is a significant environmental problem. The objective of this study is to assess microplastic concentrations in the Azov Sea media, and to analyze their morphological and morphometric characteristics, degradation...
