Occurrence, distribution and sources of microplastics in beach sediments of Miri coast, NW Borneo. Chemosphere, 305, 135368.https://repoemc.ukm.my/handle/123456789/897The aim of this study is to identify the abundances, physical characteristics, polymer type and elemental composition of MPs in beach sediments of Miri coast, located in Sarawak State, East Malaysia. A total of 1553 particles from 24 sediment samples, collected from eight different beaches along Miri coastline were identified. MPs from the sediments were extracted using density separation method and analyzed through stereoscopic microscope, ATR-FTIR and SEM-EDX.MPsFragmentsPolyethyleneSEM-EDXToxicityJournal
