Summary
Deep-ocean sediment transport processes concentrate microplastics into underwater islands or hotspots, similar to how they concentrate fine organic particles, making the deep seafloor a major repository for plastic pollution.
Study Type
Environmental
The processes controlling sediment transport also concentrate microplastics
