Excerpt

The pollution of the seas caused by the dispersion of plastic litter is one of the most serious environmental emergencies worldwide. Different sampling methodologies have been used to document microplastics presence (<5 mm in size, MPs) in sea water. Current approaches include the use of marine organisms as bioindicators and the detection of plastic-associated contaminants in their tissues, knowing that microplastic can function as vector of contaminants in various organisms. …
