Abstract

Plastics have been produced and used by humans in large quantities since they were invented, and the resulting environmental pollution problems have become more and more serious. In recent years, researchers have found that many plastic products are not completely decomposed after being discarded, a lot of plastics form microplastics in the ocean, which poses a threat to the survival of marine life. This paper analyzes the source, types and distribution of marine microplastics, and explores the influence of microplastics on marine life.
