Anthropogenic microfibres flux in an Antarctic coastal ecosystem: The tip of an iceberg?
8 pages, 8 figures, 1 table This study describes the occurrence of anthropogenic microfibres (AMFs) found in sediment trap samples collected at 25 m water depth in an Antarctic fjord (Potter Cove, King George/25 de Mayo Island) from 2012 to 2015. During visual sorting of samples, AMFs were detected...
