Summary
Researchers sampled ocean water down to 300 meters depth and detected microplastics throughout the water column, demonstrating that plastic pollution extends well below the surface and is not limited to the shallow or coastal zones most commonly studied.
Study Type
Environmental
The presence of microplastic at open ocean is a well documented fact. Microplastic is considered as plastic fragments below 5 mm length. These microplastics can proceed from macroplastic fragmentation (secondary microplastic) or from virgin pellets (primary...
