Abundance and distribution of microplastics in tropical estuarine mangrove areas around Penang, Malaysia. Frontiers in Marine Science, 10, 1148804.https://repoemc.ukm.my/handle/123456789/1494Our study aims to provide a basic understanding on the abundance of MPs present in mangrove estuaries around Penang and assess the extent of its pollution. We are interested to see whether the influence of anthropogenic activities coincides with the severity of MP pollution of the study sites. Our study also aims to provide meaningful data that can be used for pollution management and control. Furthermore, we aim to narrow the knowledge gap on MP pollution in Malaysiathat will encourage mitigation efforts in the near future.enmicroplastics (MPs)estuarine mangrovefield emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM)Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)MalaysiaJournal
