Microplastic (MP; plastic particles < 5 mm) pollution is pervasive in the marine environment, including remote polar environments. This study provides first pan-Antarctic survey of MP Southern Ocean sea ice by analyzing cores from several diverse Antarctic regions. Abundance, chemical composition, and particle size data were obtained 19 archived core samples. The melted, filtered, chemically analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy 4,090 identified. Nineteen polymer types found across all samples, with an average concentration 44.8 (± 50.9) particles·L-1. Abundance composition varied type geographical location. Pack exhibited significantly higher concentrations than landfast ice, suggesting open ocean sources pollution. Winter had more MPs spring summer-drilled cores, formation processes play a role incorporation. Smaller dominated Polyethylene (PE) polypropylene (PP) most common polymers, mirroring those identified habitats. Higher developing during autumn winter, contrasting lower levels observed summer, suggest turbulent conditions faster growth rates are likely responsible for increased incorporation particles. contamination stems both local distant sources. However, circulation deep waters long-range transport contribute to accumulation regional gyres, coastlines, their eventual into ice. Additionally, seasonal variations influence compositions, reflecting underlying waters.

Antarctica has traditionally been viewed as a relatively isolated ecosystem. Although still considered pristine, it is increasingly also being affected by microplastic pollution. Reported high sea floor concentrations raise concern that these ecosystems might act major sink for This significant species in those remote are likely more sensitive to rapid environmental change due level of specialization, and lower tolerance levels. Microplastic ingestion fish barely assessed latitude environments. Here we aimed provide baseline data the eastern Weddell Sea, which particularly remote, suggested an area conservation. By analyzing gastrointestinal tracts 40 specimens from five species, report overall incidence rate 0.23. than recent studies have found other Southern Ocean, below global means. The highest was detected L. squamifrons (0.67), followed P. evansii (0.29). most common polymer polyethylene recovered 8 particles (42.1 %) one specimen, while remaining 11 microplastics polyester (36.8 %). study shows even region Antarctic Ocean with almost no vessel traffic, fisheries or touristic activity, bathydemersal bathypelagic exhibit their tract.

In recent years, microplastic pollution has become one of the major global concerns and represents a complex, multidimensional, multisectoral reality. The considerable existing data relating to in matrices such as water soil suggests that microplastics are widespread globally, but there several knowledge gaps regarding their actual distribution mostly remote locations far from sources. this review we examine current on Antarctic continent. Antarctica, unique continent not permanently anthropized, is southernmost part planet its geographic isolation does protect against harmful impact human activities. This characterized by limited internal sources high-burden external routes contaminants natural laboratory analyze how can reach every biosphere. reports presence organic inorganic only at marine level (water, sediments, benthic organisms, krill, fish) also freshwater (lakes, rivers, snow, glaciers) highlighting contamination endemic environment. Microplastic great environmental concern everywhere, characteristics ecosystems suggest they could be more sensitive harm pollution.
