Summary

Researchers investigated small microplastics (less than 100 µm) and other microlitter components in Arctic amphipod invertebrates, addressing a gap in knowledge since most Arctic microplastics research has focused on particles larger than 100 µm. The study characterised the presence and composition of these smaller particles within this ecologically important invertebrate group.

Microplastics larger than 100 µm have been more studied than small microplastics (SMPs, Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/558883/document
