Abstract
Microplastic (MP) pollution in marine sediments is an emerging environmental concern, yet data on MP color and size in the Black Sea are scarce. This pilot study analyzed sediments from five Bulgarian coastal locations. These results provide baseline information on MP color and size in Bulgarian Black Sea sediments and highlight the importance of further studies on the environmental behavior and management of colored MPs.
