Note. This table shows the ecosystem and organism sampled for paint microplastics (MP), the sampling location, paint MP concentration (minimum, maximum, and average), whether or not the paint concentration was directly reported (yes or no), and if no, the percentage of MP reported as paint (if available). Data points that were not reported are noted with the acronym NR.
