Summary
This study used multiple analytical techniques to detect microplastics in a range of local marine organisms, finding complex polymer compositions including polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene across species. The multi-technology approach demonstrates the value of combining methods to accurately characterize microplastic contamination in biota.
Microplastics with complex polymer compositions are present in a lot of local marine organisms.
