Summary

Microplastic contamination is documented throughout the Seine River estuary in both water and sediments, with particle concentrations varying by tidal cycle and proximity to urban discharge points. Estuaries act as transitional accumulation zones where riverine microplastics concentrate before entering the marine environment, amplifying exposure for estuary-dwelling species.

Study Type Environmental

Nowadays, microplastic (MPs) pollution is well documented in marine ecosystems since the first publication alarming about marine plastic pollution in 1972 [1]. Similarly, continental contamination is more and more investigated. More recently, interest for estuarine...
