Summary

Researchers applied statistical methods to classify and analyze the large volumes of microplastic samples collected during the TARA Mediterranean ocean campaign. Rigorous statistical frameworks are necessary to draw reliable conclusions from field data and accurately characterize the distribution of microplastics across ocean environments.

Since the 1950s plastic production has exponentially increased. Different expeditions have sampled microplastics in all the world’s oceans in order to better know this pollution. However, a large amount of plastic particles is collected during all campaigns,...
