Although studies on plastic concentrations mainly focus on the marine environment, recently, an increasing number of studies point out environmental consequences in freshwater...

In this study, we provided an overview of macro- and mesoplastic concentrations, categories, ages, and origin over several years in the water column of the river Waal, in the...

Zooplankton (amphipod and copepod) were collected using nets in the Fram Strait and the Arctic, in July 2018 and August 2019 for microplastic analysis. Water samples were also...

This dataset presents microplastics in water samples collected from the underway system and CTD alongside the August 2019 zooplankton samples presented in...

In order to assess pollution with large microplastics (L-MP, 500-5000 µm) in the Lower Weser and transition to the German North Sea, surface water samples were collected with...

In order to assess pollution with small microplastics (S-MP, 11-500 µm) in the Lower Weser and transition to the German North Sea, surface water samples were collected with the...

Since plastics degrade very slowly, they remain in the environment on much longer timescales than most natural substrates and provide a novel habitat for colonization by...
