Microplastics in the aquatic and terrestrial environment: sources (with a specific focus on personal care products), fate and effects (2016, background): “However, such estimates are hampered by the complexity of the sources of micro- and macroplastics, the lack of quantitative data on transport and fate in the environment (see next section), and the high geographic variability of the relevance of different sources and introduction routes, which is ca”
Microplastics in the Marine Environment: Distribution, Interactions and Effects (2015, background): “…may be considered a major sink for microplastic debris (Woodall et al. 2014) and explain the current mismatch between estimated global inputs of plastic debris to the oceans (Jambeck et al. 2015) and field data (Cózar et al. 2014; Eriksen et al. 2014), which refer largely to floating litter.”
