Microplastic abundance in the semi-enclosed Osaka Bay, Japan.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- Researchers identified and categorized anthropogenic particles in Osaka Bay using microscopy and spectroscopy, finding a total of 565.1 particles.
- Only 22.4% of these were plastic, with seasonal variations in microplastic abundance (8.9 to 22.8 particles/L from May to July).
- The main types of microplastics detected were fragmented fibers and included polymers like polypropylene, polyester, and polyethylene, with higher concentrations found offshore, likely due to local river runoff and marine activities.
