Summary

Researchers measured microplastics larger than 25 µm in the Seine River in France, finding elevated concentrations in urban sections. The data contribute to understanding how the Seine acts as a pathway transporting microplastics from Paris and its suburbs toward the ocean. River monitoring data is essential for estimating plastic inputs to the marine environment.
