Distribution and importance of microplastics in the marine environment: A review of the sources, fate, effects, and potential solutions. (2017, background): “Heavymetals such as aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), iron (Fe) andmanganese (Mn), have been detected on plastic production pellets sampled in the seawater (Ashton et al., 2010; Holmes et al., 2012).”
