Summary

Researchers monitored floating microplastic concentrations in the nearshore surface waters of Barcelona during 2023-2024, contributing to understanding of microplastic distribution in one of the most heavily contaminated coastal zones of the Mediterranean. The study characterized particle abundance, size, shape, and polymer composition to assess temporal trends in near-shore contamination levels.

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
