Microplastic (MP), plastic particles smaller than 5 mm [1], is widely distributed in the environment [2] and has not only been detected in the aquatic environment [3] but also in terrestrial areas [4]. To understand the whole life cycle of MP it is important to analyse samples from different areas. With the detection of MP in different environmental compartments, it is possible to define sources, entry and transport paths and temporary and ultimate sinks of MP.
