Microfibers (MFs) are ubiquitous in natural environments and are considered as an an-thropogenic litter that has become a global concern. Approximately 2 million tons of MFs are released into the ocean every year and once in the marine environment, it can be hypothesized that their accumulation and transport are largely controlled by oceanographic...

Citation: Caruso, G.; Iannilli, V.; Vitale, G.; Vardè, M.; Oliverio, M.; Bogialli, S.; Litti, L.; Setini, A.; Rosso, B.; Corami, F. These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: The Arctic Ocean is undergoing several transformations because of global climate change. Small microplastics (SMPs) or nanoplastics (NPs) carried by marine aero...
This report refers on fieldwork activity done in August-September 2022 in the framework of the project MICROTRACER (PRA_0005). Sediment samples were collected from 10 sites, located across Krossfjorden and Kongsfjorden, on board of MS Teisten with a grab or manually from the coast. Amphipods were sampled in front of Ny-Alesund harbour and in the co...
The Micro-FTIR Nicolet TM iN TM 10 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to identify anthropogenic particles. 22 fields of each filter (one replicate sample) were analyzed using a photomontage of 64 co-scans (spatial resolution 100 µm, aperture 100 µm x 100 µm) in the spectral range of 4000-1200 cm-1. Particles and fibers were selected by utilizing W...
