dc.description.abstractMicroplastic (MP) contamination in surface waters is a growing environmental concern; however, information on MP color and size distribution in the Black Sea remains limited. This pilot study examined surface water samples from five coastal sites along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The findings establish baseline data on MP color and size characteristics and underscore the need for further research into the environmental behavior and management of colored MPs.
