First report on the detection of microplastics from the feathers of black-tailed gulls in South Korea

This study found that microplastics — including polyethylene, polypropylene, PET, and polystyrene — were present on the feathers of all sampled black-tailed gulls across two South Korean island populations, with particles in the 50–100 µm size range most common. The findings suggest that coastal-dwelling seabirds are routinely exposed to microplastics through their marine environment, with potential implications for feather function, insulation, and waterproofing.
