The generic term “microplastics”, however, encompasses a wide range of dif- ferent polymers, while most of the field studies mainly relied on the visual iden- tification of particles or characterized only a restricted subset of them. Thus, detailed knowledge of the actual polymeric diversity of this emerging pollutant is lacking. Such information is urgently required to identify sources and sinks of microplasticsandtobetterunderstandfateandimpactsofthedifferentpolymersat sea,sothatknowledge-basedreductionandpreventionmeasurescanbeeffectively implemented. Here, we present the results of a large-scale survey of floating microplastics (<5 mm) and meso-plastics (5–20 mm) in central-western Mediterranean waters, providing the largest polymeric characterization ever performed (n = 4050 parti- cles). We confirm the Mediterranean Sea as severely contaminated by plastic pollutionanddescribefor thefirsttimethecomplexmixtureofsyntheticpolymers floating on its surface, testing the hypothesis that plastic distribution and compo- sition are not homogeneous and that geographical differences exist between sub-basins.
