Spatial distribution and risk assessment of microplastics in surface sediments in semi-enclosed waters: a case study of Laizhou Bay

Marine ecosystems are the most important sinks for microplastics (MPs) from inland sources, and the input of large quantities of MPs into the oceans poses a serious threat to marine organisms and ecosystems. However, the characteristics of MPs contamination and its risk in semi-enclosed seas remain...
