3 What are microplastics? Microplastics are small pieces of plastic. Size. Sources. Primary microplastic Pre-production pellets Personal hygiene products Fleece clothing Industrial scrubbers Secondary microplastic Breakdown products. Paint chips, plastic bags, fishing gear, etc.
4 What are microplastics? 1. Different polymers 2. Non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) 3. Additive chemicals 4. Polymer matrix, environmental contaminants 5. Different forms, sizes, concentrations 6. Microbes; bacteria, microalgae
5 Sources? Production Goods Waste Pellet spill Littering Leakage fom waste handling
6 Sources? 4086 pellets /hr, app /day Figure S9: Handling and spill of fluff material at transportsite 4 (T4). Results from measurements of pellets on beaches in the area. The height of the yellow bars are relative to the number of pellets found per hour and person. White squares show examined sites where no pellets were found (Map adapted from Googlemaps). Figure S12: Trail of pellets in a stormwater inflow to the creek Norums å from the handling and transport site at Munkerod.
