Lost but can't be neglected: Huge quantities of small microplastics hide in the South China Sea

Large quantities of microplastics with small particle sizes were found in the South China Sea (SCS). The abundances of microplastics in seawater were 0.045±0.093and 2569±1770particles/m3 according to the bongo net and pumping sampling methods, respectively. Smaller-size fractions (size
