Spatial Distribution and Composition of Surface Microplastics in the Southwestern South China Sea

Spatial Distribution and Composition of Surface Microplastics in the Southwestern South China Sea

Plastic pollution is one of the growing environmental problems in the world currently. The situation of microplastics (MPs) in the South China Sea (SCS) is not yet fully understood. This study investigated the spatial distribution, morphological characterization, and chemical composition of MPs in s...
