Research progress of microplastics pollution in Chinese coastal areas
In order to comprehensively assess the microplastic pollution status in Chinese coastal areas,this study summarized the collection and separation methods,quantitative and qualitative analysis,pollution distribution characteristics and ecological hazards of microplastics in different environmental media in Chinese coastal aera,and proposed the future research fields.The results showed that microplastics widely distributed in the coastal atmosphere,sediments as well as seawater.In comparison to other coastal aeras around the world,microplastic pollution status in China was generally at a medium to low level.In addition,microplastics and their combined pollutants posed certain risks to Chinese coastal ecology.The spatio-temporal distribution,source and sink pattern and ecological risk mechanisms of marine microplastics in Chinese coastal aeras are still unclear.On the basis of standardizing research methods for coastal microplastics,it is in need to conduct large-scale and long-term monitoring of microplastic pollution in the future,pay attention to the microplastic migration and transportation among the atmosphere,land,and ocean,and explore the toxicological mechanisms of microplastic and combined pollutants exposure and its potential health risks to humans,providing the reference for the assessment and treatment of marine microplastic pollution in China.
