Microplastic contamination and microbial colonization in coastal area of Busan City, Korea
This study investigated the potential role of the concentration, shape, size, and polymer type of microplastics (MP), in addition to the microbial community in six coastal areas of Busan city, South Korea. The results showed that the average MP concentration was 94 ± 41 particles·m-3, and particles...
