Seasonal distribution of microplastics in the surface water and sediments of the Vellar estuary, Parangipettai, southeast coast of India
Microplastics (MPs) are toxic pollutants, which are found ubiquitously in the marine environment. The present study aimed to assess the level of MP contamination in Vellar estuary, southeast coast of India. MP abundance in surface water and sediments ranged from 1.15 ± 0.01 to 5.14 ± 0.04 items/m3 a...

| description | Microplastics (MPs) are toxic pollutants, which are found ubiquitously in the marine environment. The present study aimed to assess the level of MP contamination in Vellar estuary, southeast coast of India. MP abundance in surface water and sediments ranged from 1.15 ± 0.01 to 5.14 ± 0.04 items/m3 and 24.8 ± 0.75 to 43.4 ± 0.98 particles/kg d.w., respectively. Fiber, fragment, film, pellet and glitter were present in the study area. In total, ten colors of MPs were found in the study, of which black was the most abundant. Seven polymers in sediments and four polymers in water were characterized from the study area, among which LDPE was the most dominant. Sediment texture results showed that clay particles were able to retain a greater number of MPs. This study shows that the Vellar estuary is contaminated with MPs; however, further investigation is required to classify the estuary as polluted.

•Fibers dominated surface water and sediments.•LDPE was dominant.•Finer sediments retain more microplastics. |
