    (Elsevier, 2018) Wan Mohd Afiq Wan Mohd Khalik; Yusof Shuaib Ibrahim; Sabiqah Tuan Anuar; Sharumathiy Govindasamy; Nor Fadilah Baharuddin
    The first report on the emergence of microplastic in Malaysian marine waters was documented in this study. Water samples were collected from two regions, namely Kuala Nerus and Kuantan port, as the representatives of different anthropogenic activities. Identification of microplastic was performed based on physical characteristics (colour, shape, density) and chemical characterisation (ATR-FTIR analysis) for a functional group of polymers.
