摘要: Abstract Plastic debris on six beaches near the Nakdong River Estuary, South Korea, was sampled in May and September 2012 classified into three size classes, large microplastics (1–5 mm), mesoplastics (5–25 mm), macroplastics (>25 mm). The relationships among abundances of classes were then examined. each category (before rainy season) (after 8205 27,606 particles/m2 for microplastics, 238 237 particles/m2 mesoplastics, 0.97 1.03 particles/m2 macroplastics, respectively. Styrofoam most abundant item both microplastic mesoplastic debris, while intact plastics common macroplastic debris. meso- micro-plastics strongly correlated. There a higher correlation between macro- meso-plastics than micro-plastics.
