公民科学现在通常用于收集塑料污染的数据,并被认为是促进我们对这个问题的理解的宝贵工具。然而,很少有研究使用公民科学来收集关于水上塑料碎片的信息。在这里,公民科学家采用了一种全球标准化的方法,在康沃尔语海岸(英国)的海面上采集小型(1-5毫米)漂浮塑料碎片。在与两个海洋保护区相交的沿着五条路线上进行了28次拖网捕捞。在509个假定的塑料物品中,碎片最常见(64%),然后是线(19%),泡沫(7%),薄膜(6%)和颗粒(4%)。傅里叶变换红外光谱法鉴定出最常见的聚合物类型为聚乙烯(31%),然后是尼龙(12%)、聚丙烯(8%)、聚酰胺(5%)和聚苯乙烯(3%)。这项研究提供了该地区漂浮塑料碎片的第一个全球比较基线(平均值:8512个项目km-2),同时有助于了解全球塑料丰度和分布的国际数据集。
Citizen science is now commonly employed to collect data on plastic pollution and is recognised as a valuable tool for furthering our understanding of the issue. Few studies, however, use citizen science to gather information on water-borne plastic debris. Here, citizen scientists adopted a globally standardised methodology to sample the sea-surface for small (1-5 mm) floating plastic debris off the Cornish coast (UK). Twenty-eight trawls were conducted along five routes, intersecting two Marine Protected Areas. Of the 509 putative plastic items, fragments were most common (64 %), then line (19 %), foam (7 %), film (6 %), and pellets (4 %). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy identified the most common polymer type as polyethylene (31 %), then nylon (12 %), polypropylene (8 %), polyamide (5 %) and polystyrene (3 %). This study provides the first globally comparative baseline of floating plastic debris for the region (mean: 8512 items km−2), whilst contributing to an international dataset aimed at understanding plastic abundance and distribution worldwide.
