Pre-production plastic pellets as a transport medium of mercury along the eastern Adriatic coast (Croatia)

Plastic pellets are sampled (2014-2015) on six beaches along eastern Adriatic coast, from the island of Mljet in the south east to Kvarner Bay in the north east. In the same direction adsorbed mercury on the sampled pellets decreased. Quantities of plastic pellets on the beaches of southern and central Adriatic coast are higher than in northern part. Mercury was found to accumulate on plastic pellets from the surrounding coastal sea water by a factor up to 10000.
