Data from “East Asian seas: a hot spot of pelagic microplastics”
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset presents measurements of pelagic microplastic concentrations from East Asian seas, identifying the region as a hotspot for floating plastic debris in the open ocean. The data support assessments of how plastic pollution accumulates in semi-enclosed marginal seas with dense coastal populations.

East Asian seas: A hot spot of pelagic microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Field surveys in the East Asian seas around Japan found microplastic concentrations 16 times higher than in the North Pacific and 27 times higher than the global ocean average, making it one of the most contaminated regions in the world. The spatial patterns suggest that microplastics originate from the Yellow Sea and East China Sea and are carried northeastward by ocean currents.
Data from: Seafloor microplastic hotspots controlled by deep-sea circulation
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset accompanies a landmark study showing that thermohaline-driven deep-sea currents control microplastic distribution and create hotspots with concentrations up to 1.9 million particles per square meter, the highest ever reported, on certain seafloor sediment drifts.
