Microplastics in three typical benthic species from the Arctic: Occurrence, characteristics, sources, and environmental implications

Chao Fang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence, characteristics, sources, and environmental implications of microplastics in three common benthic species from the Chukchi Sea. The findings suggest that sea anemones could serve as bioindicators of microplastic pollution, with sources likely including melting sea ice, fishery activities, and ocean currents.

Pervasive distribution of polyester fibres in the Arctic Ocean is driven by Atlantic inputs

Peter S. Ross et al.

Summary: Microplastics, including dominant polyester fibers, have been found in widespread distribution across the Arctic region, with nearly three times more particles in the eastern Arctic compared to the west. The potential weathering of fibers from east to west suggests a source from the Atlantic Ocean through atmospheric transport from the South. This highlights the global impact of textile fibers in domestic wastewater, with microplastics reaching even the most remote locations like the North Pole.
