The gastrointestinal tracts of 229 demersal fish belonging to two species (Mullus barbatus,
Merluccius merluccius) were examined for microplastic ingestion. Samples were collected in …

Monitoring efforts are required to understand the sources, distribution and abundance of
microplastic pollution. To verify the abundance of microplastics along the Tuscan coastal …

The abundance, composition and sources of marine litter were determined on beaches
located in the seven countries of the Adriatic-Ionian macroregion, namely Albania, Bosnia …

This paper aims at quantifying current riverine fluxes of microplastics (MPs) in two
Mediterranean river catchments, a large one and a small one, namely the Rhône and the …
