Summary
This study investigated microplastic distribution in surface waters of the Arctic Ocean including the transpolar drift and marginal ice zones, finding concentrations comparable to mid-latitude ocean gyres. Atlantic-origin water masses carried higher microplastic loads than Pacific-derived water, reflecting differences in continental plastic emission rates from bordering regions.
