Identification of marine microplastics collected in the Canary Islands: coastal and oceanic samples

2019
Ortiz Montosa, Sara Isabel

Summary

This research characterized airborne microplastic deposition in the city of Zagreb, Croatia, using passive collectors over multiple seasons, finding year-round particle accumulation. Fiber types dominated samples, with deposition rates comparable to Western European urban measurements, indicating regional atmospheric transport contributes alongside local emission sources.
