| Abstract | Because of their abundance, persistence, and ubiquity, microplastics (MPs) represent a serious environmental risk, recognized even by the European Union which calls for further investigation. The Mediterranean basin seems to be highly affected by microplastic pollution, and it has been considered the sixth great accumulation area for marine litter. |
