| 英文摘要: | To extent the understanding on microplastics in the marine environment we performed a case study at four beaches on the Isle of Rügen considering abundance and spatial distribution of microplastics in beach sediments. For the analysis, density separation via a glass elutriation column was implemented. In advance, efficiencies were tested for two polymers, being not buoyant in water. Recovery rates of 80% for PET and 72% for PVC particles in sandy samples were achieved. A median abundance of 88.10 (Q1 = 55.01/Q3 = 114.72) microplastic particles per kg dry sediment or 2862.56 (Q1 = 1787.34/Q3 = 3727.28) particles per m2 was found at the beaches on Rügen. Fibers were more abundant than fragments at all beaches. In this study, no statistically significant differences but only tendencies were determined between the beaches with different exposition and anthropogenic activity as well as for distribution patterns which showed that microplastic fragments accumulate in topographic depressions, similar to macrolitter items. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd |
