Preliminary assessment of microplastic pollution in surface waters of the Santos Basin: abundance and diversity in the most important oil and gas exploration hub in Brazil

Microplastics (Mps) are pervasive in the surface waters of the Santos Basin, a critical maritime zone along the Southeast coast of Brazil, vital to both fishing and oil production. This study sought to assess potential disparities in the abundance, types, colors, and sizes of microplastics in vario...
