Answer:

Highlights

The Antarctic marine system is considered pristine compared to other regions.

Microplastics are present in Antarctic waters but available data are scarce.

Local sources of primary microplastic do not explain reported concentrations.

Plastic originating from outside the region may contribute to Antarctic pollution.

Standardised monitoring of microplastic in Antarctic waters is needed urgently.

I hope help at all

Answer:

_______________________

Microplastic Pollution -

Microplastics, small pieces of plastic, less than 5 mm (0.2 inch) in length, that occur in the environment as a consequence of plastic pollution. ... Microplastics are present in a variety of products, from cosmetics to synthetic clothing to plastic bags and bottles.

Causes & Effect -

  • In the oceans, microplastic pollution is often consumed by marine animals.
  • Some of this environmental pollution is from littering, but much is the result of storms, water runoff, and winds that carry plastic—both intact objects and microplastics—into our oceans
