Microplastic air pollution threats the world’s coastal lagoons

Globally, the coastal lagoons of Lagos (Nigeria), Sakumo (Ghana) and Bizerte (Tunisia) — near giant city facilities and with out waste and sewage therapy techniques — are among the many most affected water ecosystems of this nature by microplastic air pollution. Nonetheless, the very best concentrations of microplastics have been detected in Barnes Sound and different small lagoons in a protected space within the north of Florida Bay (USA), a selected case that may be defined by the transport of microplastics carried by hurricanes from polluted areas.
