Abstract

A new technique involving large-volume (10 m3) samples of seawater was used to determine the abundance of microplastics (MPs) in the water column in the West Pacific Ocean and East Indian Ocean. Compared to the conventional sampling methods based on smaller volumes of water, the new data yielded abu...
