Sorption of PCBs to environmental plastic pollution in the North Atlantic Ocean: Importance of size and polymer type

Plastic pollution is a great threat to the marine environment. Owing to its low density, a substantial fraction of plastic debris is transported across ocean surfaces by currents. Consequently, plastic debris has been concentrated in oceanic gyres such as the North Atlantic subtropical Gyre (NASG)....
