Summary
Researchers characterized microplastics in nearshore sediments of Lake Ontario, documenting particle abundance, polymer types, and spatial distribution across sampling stations. The study found widespread contamination throughout the nearshore zone with no strong depth gradient, suggesting resuspension maintains homogeneous distribution in shallow areas.
