Arctic sea ice is an important temporal sink and means of transport for microplastic

Arctic sea ice is an important temporal sink and means of transport for microplastic

Microplastic (MP) pollution in polar regions is a growing environmental concern, yet little is known regarding the role of sea-ice as a sink and transport vector of MPs. Here, the authors show that MPs in sea-ice have no uniform polymer composition and observe unique MP patterns in different sea-ice...
