Clear[Microplastic Pollution of the Beaches in Xiamen Bay, China].
Microplastics were found across beaches in Xiamen Bay, China, with fibers and fragments being most common and concentrations higher near urban and industrial areas. The findings add to growing evidence that microplastic contamination is widespread along China's heavily populated coastline.
Microplastic Contamination in Sediments of Xiamen Bay: Investigating Ecological Consequences
Microplastic contamination was assessed in sediments of Xiamen Bay, China, examining spatial and temporal distribution, ecological consequences for sediment biota, and human exposure pathways. Key risk factors were identified based on particle characteristics, with the study providing insights for managing microplastic impacts in this heavily urbanized coastal environment.
[Distribution Characteristics of Microplastics in Surface Water and Sediments of Haizhou Bay, Lianyungang].
Researchers characterized microplastic pollution in surface water and sediments of Haizhou Bay, a small-to-medium-sized inshore bay in Lianyungang, China, documenting the main polymer types, abundances, and spatial distribution patterns to fill a gap in knowledge about microplastics in smaller Chinese coastal environments.
Microplastic Contamination on the Beaches of South China
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination across 14 beaches along the South China coast, finding microplastics ubiquitously present in sandy sediments, predominantly as small fragments under 1 mm, with distribution patterns linked to coastal urbanization and ocean current dynamics.
[Characteristics of Microplastic Pollution in Sediment of Silty Coast in Culture Bay].
Microplastic characteristics and depth profiles were analyzed in deep sediments from a silty mudflat near a Haizhou Bay aquaculture area, providing rare data on vertical microplastic distribution in coastal sediment cores.
Two-dimensional distribution and abundance of micro- and mesoplastic pollution in the surface sediment of Xialiao Beach, New Taipei City, Taiwan
Researchers systematically mapped microplastic and mesoplastic pollution across Xialiao Beach in Taiwan, recovering 1,939 particles from 80 samples and finding that the backshore contained significantly more plastic than intertidal zones, with extrapolation suggesting approximately 6.8 million particles (≥1 mm) across the beach surface.
Monitoring of micro-plastics: a case study of shilaoren beach, Qingdao, China
Researchers measured microplastic occurrence and composition in beach sediments at Shilaoren Beach, Qingdao, China, finding 561 microplastic particles across sampling sites. The results confirm widespread microplastic contamination of beach sediments even at tourist beaches, adding to evidence of plastic pollution along Chinese coastlines.
Distribution and environmental risk assessment of microplastics in continental shelf sediments in the southern East China Sea: A high-spatial-resolution survey
Researchers conducted a high-spatial-resolution survey of microplastics in surface sediments across the southern East China Sea continental shelf, finding omnipresent contamination dominated by polyethylene fibers and fragments, with concentrations elevated near urban coastal areas.
Distribution characteristics of microplastics in the seawater and sediment: A case study in Jiaozhou Bay, China
Researchers surveyed microplastic pollution in the seawater and sediments of Jiaozhou Bay, a semi-enclosed bay in China heavily impacted by human activity. They found microplastic concentrations of 20 to 120 items per cubic meter in seawater and 7 to 25 items per kilogram in sediment, with fibers being the dominant shape and PET the most common polymer. The study found positive correlations between microplastic levels in water and sediment, and higher concentrations near areas with residual ocean currents.
Vertical distribution of microplastics in bay sediment reflecting effects of sedimentation dynamics and anthropogenic activities
Researchers studied the vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment cores from the semi-enclosed Jiaozhou Bay, China, finding six polymer types with distribution patterns reflecting historical changes in plastic production and local pollution sources. Sediment depth was found to correlate with the era of plastic contamination, providing a record of microplastic accumulation over time.
Factors influencing the occurrence and distribution of microplastics in coastal sediments: From source to sink
Researchers sampled microplastics from sediments of two semi-enclosed bays and two coastal open zones in China, finding that proximity to human activity and reduced hydrodynamic energy were the primary drivers of higher microplastic abundance, with Jinghai Bay showing the greatest contamination due to its enclosed geometry and adjacent urban inputs.
An integrated assessment of microplastic pollution in coastal surface water and sediment of Japan
Researchers conducted a comprehensive survey of microplastic pollution across 14 coastal locations around Japan from Hokkaido to Okinawa, measuring concentrations of 288.7 g/km2 in surface water and 1,185 kg/km2 in sediment and characterizing polymer types, shapes, and size distributions.
Consequences of anthropogenic activities and beach dynamics on vertical distribution of microplastics in the mid-intertidal sediments of Donghai Island, China
Researchers studied the vertical distribution of microplastics in intertidal sediments on Donghai Island, China, finding that depth profiles were strongly influenced by beach dynamics and human activity patterns. Microplastics were concentrated in the upper sediment layers, with anthropogenic disturbance intensifying accumulation. The study establishes baseline data for coastal microplastic monitoring and management.
Characteristics of microplastics in different media in Jiaozhou Bay, China
