A review of 80 papers on microplastic (MP) particles in marine sediments was conducted for
different sedimentary environments. The papers were assessed for data on average MP …

The growing use of plastic and their indiscriminate disposal into the environment has
resulted in the accumulation of huge quantities of microplastic (MP) in the marine …

Microplastic deposition in marine sediments is a geographically widespread problem. This
study examines microplastics in intertidal and subtidal sediments at 87 locations in habitats …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is attracting growing global attention, but little is known about the
factors influencing MP occurrence and distributions in marine sediments. Here, MPs were …

Although microplastics (MPs) are known to be found in global oceans, their influencing
factors and abundance in the deep sea remain largely unknown. Twenty-six surface …

Microplastic presence in benthic marine systems is a widely discussed topic. The influence
of the natural matrix on microplastic distribution within the sedimentary matrix is often …

The ubiquity of microplastics (MPs) has now been demonstrated throughout Earth's
geographic areas in both terrestrial and marine environments. Marine ecosystems are the …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) has been demonstrated in all environmental
compartments in the recent years. They are detected in air, freshwater, soil, organisms and …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are a pollutant of growing ecotoxicological concern for
marine and human health. This critical review aims (i) to systematically evaluate the findings …

Assessment of microplastics (MPs) in sediment cores is necessary to unveil global plastic
pollution since most of the plastic litter might have been stored in sediment columns. In the …
