Summary
Researchers compiled global data showing microplastic pollution is essentially everywhere — in surface waters and sediments worldwide — with some locations finding microplastics in nearly every sample collected, underscoring how pervasive this contamination has become.
Microplastic (MP) pollutants are widespread and have been detected in both surface waters and sediments across the globe. At some places, MP abundance reached 90–100% of the samples sampled in surface waters. They (MP) have even reached the remote and pristine...
