Estimations of floating microplastics, mesoplastics, and macroplastics around Kuroshio Current, western North Pacific collected from 2014-02-03 to 2014-03-01 (NCEI Accession 0279325)
This study estimated the concentration of floating microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5 mm; reported in unit of counts/km2), mesoplastics (i.e. plastics measuring 5-25 mm; reported in unit of counts/km2), and macroplastics (i.e. plastics measuring greater than 25 mm; reported in unit of counts/km2) …
