Summary

Researchers monitored floating microplastic concentrations in the nearshore waters of Barcelona during 2023-2024, characterising the abundance, polymer types, and size distribution of microplastic fragments collected from the sea surface. The study contributes temporal data on microplastic pollution dynamics in a densely populated Mediterranean coastal urban environment.

Research about plastic pollution in the marine environment has increased in recent years and has revealed a large amount of microplastics floating on the sea surface. These fragments of Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/559675/document
