AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers surveyed microplastic pollution along the Calabrian coastline in the central Mediterranean, finding higher concentrations on the Tyrrhenian coast than the Ionian coast and documenting how microplastics distribute from coastal areas into the open sea.
Spatio-temporal distribution of microplastic abundances in Izmir Bay (eastern Aegean Sea)
AI summary Read the abstract
Sampling surface water and sediments at ten stations in Izmir Bay (eastern Aegean Sea) revealed widespread MP pollution, with concentrations up to 8 million particles per km² of surface water, dominated by plastic fragments. The study fills a gap in Mediterranean MP data and highlights the bay's vulnerability to contamination from nearby rivers, ports, and maritime traffic.
