ZF_3_18 — Microplastic Pollution in the Ocean

Microplastics — plastic particles <5 mm in diameter — have become one of the most pervasive and persistent pollutants in the global ocean, present from surface waters to the deepest hadal trenches, from Arctic sea ice to

ZF_4_18 — Deep Ocean Microplastics

Deep ocean microplastics — synthetic polymer particles smaller than 5 mm that have infiltrated the deepest marine environments on Earth — represent one of the most alarming and poorly understood dimensions of global plas

ZF_4_16 — Microplastics in the Ocean: Sources, Pathways, and Ecological Impact

Microplastics — plastic particles smaller than 5 mm in diameter — have become one of the most pervasive and persistent pollutants in the global ocean. First systematically described as a marine pollutant by Richard Thomp

O_3_20 — Microplastics, Nanoplastics, and the Ubiquitous Contamination Crisis

Microplastics — plastic particles smaller than 5 mm in diameter, with nanoplastics defined as smaller than 1 μm — have become the most pervasive anthropogenic contaminant on Earth. Since mass production of synthetic poly
