Microplastics in arctic invertebrates- Status on occurrence and recommendations for future monitoring
Few studies have been published on occurrence and distribution on microplastics (MPs) in invertebrates from the Arctic. We still need to develop harmonised methods to enable good comparison between studies taking into account recovery rates, size ranges, shapes and polymer types. Here, we review stu...
