Summary
Researchers examined small microplastics (under 100 µm) and other microlitter components in Arctic amphipods, addressing the relatively understudied size fraction of microplastic contamination in marine invertebrates from polar regions. The study characterized particle types, sizes, and abundances found within these organisms to better understand contamination pathways in Arctic food webs.
Microplastics larger than 100 µm have been more studied than small microplastics (SMPs, Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/558883/document
