摘要

北冰洋，曾经被认为是一片原始的、未受影响的冰原，现在正面临着微塑料污染日益严重的威胁。本研究提供了北冰洋西部水柱中多聚氰胺污染的定量数据。使用CTD（电导率、温度和深度）玫瑰花状采样器，从9至297 m的深度共收集了324个重复水样。利用微傅里叶变换红外光谱（μ-FTIR）对分离的MPs进行分析。MP的平均丰度为0.06个粒子L−1，其中波弗特海站（BFS 26）的浓度最高，为0.22个粒子L−1。蓝色和纤维性，主要由聚烯烃组成的小MPs （<500 μm）占主导地位。MPs在水柱中的分布为：极地混合层（59%）、太平洋或大西洋盐跃层（22%）和大西洋水中间层（19%）。这项研究为MPs的垂直分布、它们的特征以及MPs涌入该地区的可能来源提供了有价值的见解。

Microplastic contamination in the western Arctic water column: A transition from pristine to polluted

The Arctic Ocean, once regarded as a pristine and untouched icy expanse, now faces an increasing threat from microplastic (MPs, <5 mm) pollution. This study presents quantitative data on MP contamination in the water column of the western Arctic Ocean. A total of 324 replicate water samples were collected using a CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth) rosette sampler from depths ranging from 9 to 297 m. The isolated MPs were analyzed using micro-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (μ-FTIR). The average abundance of MP was 0.06 particles L⁻¹, and the Beaufort Sea station (BFS 26) recorded the highest concentration (0.22 particles L⁻¹). Blue-coloured and fibrous nature, small MPs (<500 μm) primarily composed of polyolefins were dominant. The distribution of MPs in the water column was as follows: Polar Mixed Layer (59 %), Pacific or Atlantic halocline (22 %), and the Intermediate layer of Atlantic water (19 %). This study provides valuable insights into the vertical distribution of MPs, their characteristics, and the probable sources of the influx of MPs into this region.
