Microplastics and other anthropogenic particles in Antarctica: Using penguins as biological samplers
Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm in size) are known to be widespread in the marine
environment but are still poorly studied in Polar Regions, particularly in the Antarctic. As …

Microplastic pollution in the Greenland Sea: Background levels and selective contamination of planktivorous diving seabirds
Microplastics have been reported everywhere around the globe. With very limited human
activities, the Arctic is distant from major sources of microplastics. However, microplastic …
