Summary

Microplastic occurrence was investigated in water bodies and snow samples from Alaska, a region where the extent and distribution of microplastics in terrestrial freshwater and drinking water sources had been unknown. The study provides baseline data on microplastic contamination in this Arctic and sub-Arctic region.

Study Type Environmental

While microplastics (MPs) are globally prevalent in marine environments, including the Arctic and sub-Arctic, the extent and distribution of MPs in terrestrial water bodies and drinking water sources, in these areas remain unknown.
