    (Springer, 2021) Muhammad Rozaimi Mohd Zaki; Peh Xin Ying; Azim Haziq Zainuddin; Muhammad Raznisyafiq Razak; Ahmad Zaharin Aris
    Microplastics have been considered as contaminants of emerging concern due to ubiquity in the environment; however, the occurrence of microplastics in river estuaries is scarcely investigated. The Klang River estuary is an important ecosystem that receives various contaminants from urbanised, highly populated areas and the busiest maritime centre in Selangor, Malaysia. This study investigates the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in surface water of the Klang River estuary.
