An assessment of microplastics in fecal samples from polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in Canada's North

We assessed the potential for plastic ingestion in polar bears (Ursus maritimus (Phipps (1774))) using fecal analysis. Two method studies ensured our protocols could effectively recover and identify plastics in feces. First, microplastics (film, foam, or fragments) were intentionally introduced into...
