Plastic pollution is one of the significant environmental concerns due to lớn the threefold increase in global plastic waste. Marine microplastics, including petroleum-based plastic pieces và synthetic and artificial fibers smaller than 5 mm, are not only ubiquitous in natural water but also high in wastewater streams due to lớn the direct discharge, transfer and breakdown of plastic items. This research aims to investigate the presence & dispersion of microplastics in the downtown area and coastal suburban area of Ho-Chi-Minh đô thị by using Raman microscopy. As a result, the most common plastics (PE, PET, PA, PP, PVC, PS và PMMA) were detected, and most of them were fibrous shorter than 500 μm. The total microplastics decreased gradually from the urban waterborne (up lớn 220 MPs/L) via Can Gio UNESCO Mangrove Biosphere Reserve (10 MPs/L) and to the East Sea (3 MPs/L), which reveals the potential role of the mangrove in reducing marine contaminants including microplastics. This study provides important insights into microplastic pollution in the Western Pacific Region, especially the Saigon-Dong Nai river systems, supporting useful data for natural water resources management.

Plastic products are generally inexpensive, lightweight, và durable, bringing technological and medical advances, energy savings, and other societal benefits. Therefore, the plastic industry has increased global manufacture substantially, up to lớn nearly 370 million tons in 2019 <1>. Mismanaged plastic waste has introduced 8–12.7 million tons of plastic (PP, PE in prevalence) into the ocean every year <2>. The đứng top polluting rivers globally are primarily located in Asia, accounting for 67% of the global total. Vietnam is in the world-top countries with the estimated amount of plastic waste discharged into the sea from 0.28 to lớn 0.73 million tons/year <3>, và ranked fourth in the world about plastic waste mismanagement <4>. Southern Vietnam featured an interlaced system of rivers, streams & canals with asymmetric semi-diurnal tides. Ho đưa ra Minh thành phố (HCMC, Saigon) is the most populous and largest economic center of Vietnam. In 2014, about 8175 tons of municipal solid waste were generated daily, textile & plastic components accounted for 5–7.2% và 16–25%, respectively <5>. Saigon (SG) River flows to lớn HCMC, forming main canal systems—Nhieu Loc-Thi Nghe (NL-TN), Te (KT), Đôi (KĐ), Tau Hu (TH), rã Hoa-Lo Gom (LG). At least 2000 metric tons of floating debris are collected every year on the main urban canals of Saigon <6>. Saigon River merging with Đong Nai River flows through Can Gio Mangrove to ghen tuông Rai Gulf of the East Sea (South đài loan trung quốc Sea). Can Gio, a coastal district of HCMC, is the first Mangrove Biosphere Reserve of Vietnam designated by UNESCO in 2000. It functions as a natural water filter for the marine environment by remaining and diluting soluble pollutants in rivers from the city. The reserve is divided into three zones: (1) vi xử lý core zone (4720 ha) with few households và strict forest protection; (2) buffer zone (37,340 ha) where traditional exploitation in rivers is unregulated; (3) transition zone (29,310 ha) where intensive aquaculture (oysters, shrimps, clams, etc.) & tourism are along the shoreline <7>.
Plastic items tend khổng lồ be broken into small particles with a wide range of shapes & sizes under chemical weathering, photo-degradation & physical & biological reactions. Annually between 0.8 và 2.5 million tons of microplastics (MPs), two-thirds of them are synthetic fibers released during washing và erosion of tires while driving <8>. According to the size, they are classified as mesoplastics (>5 mm), large microplastics (1–5 mm), small microplastics (≤1 mm) và nano plastics (9>. Plastic debris causes an aesthetic loss of urban landscape và poses a hazard to aquatic wildlife và human maritime activities. Nearly 700 marine species such as dolphins, sharks, crocodiles, crabs & invertebrates have been reported lớn be affected by microplastics. “Ghost fishing” from fishing nets left on the beach due khổng lồ accidental or deliberate fishing activities could entangle turtles, coral reefs, other valuable creatures, và even human divers, resulting in losses to commercial fisheries & lethal dangers of marine entertainment <10>. Some species specifically select plastic debris since they mistake similar-size microplastics for food <11>. The uptake of microplastics results in physical conditions such as bowel obstructions <12>, reduced food intake, behavior changes, & chemical effects such as inflammation, hepatic stress and reduced reproductive output đầu ra due to plastic additives <13>.
The monitoring of microplastic pollution is still a big challenge because the distribution of plastic debris is affected by different factors in the marine environment. Moreover, microplastics analysis is a very complicated field, which has been conducted for many years. It has been difficult lớn validate the procedures và reproduce and compare the results between studies since the standardized and validated methods are still under development <14>. Different methods have been used khổng lồ sample microplastics in the sweater. In volume-reduced methods, manta trawls or nets are used to lớn collect floating microplastics around 300 μm <9>. In contrast, bulk sampling takes the whole volume of water samples by using pumps or other techniques, và therefore can be used lớn obtain particles smaller than 300 μm <15>. Nets or manta trawls are preferable for large-scale surface water sampling in the sea since they can filter a large volume of water to collect the target-sized microplastics <9>. Nonetheless, a manta trawl system is expensive, and the result depends on the net size. Microplastic abundance can be underestimated because plastics smaller than the net aperture kích thước may pass through trawls <9>. On the other hand, bulk sampling is more advantageous for point sampling <16>. As there are no kích thước limitations in the sampling, a wide range of form size fractions, from large to smaller microplastics, can be identified.
A typical workflow for microplastic analysis comprises physical & chemical characterizations. Physical identification includes a microscope, và if necessary, combined with a melting chạy thử for >50 μm microplastics <17>. The visual sorting is based on microplastics’ morphology observed under a dissection microscope with or without stained with Rose Bengal <18>, a fluorescence microscope after dyed with Nile Red <19>, or a scanning electron microscope (SEM) <20>. Although the Nile Red method is highly sensitive, biogenic materials such as lipids và chitin will interfere with the plastic detection, & plastic types may give similar màu sắc signals <21>. Hence, the visual methods should be combined with a spectrometer. FT-IR spectroscopy is a convenient tool khổng lồ determine marine microplastics <22,23>. Raman spectroscopy based on the interaction of molecules with photons in monochromatic light has recently attracted more attention <24,25> due lớn the non-destructive feature, better resolution, wider spectral coverage và lower water interference <26>. It can replace FT-IR or be used with FT-IR khổng lồ obtain the best results <27>. Confocal Raman microscopy (CRM) is an improved system involving the pairing of an optical microscope with a Raman spectroscopy. This system provides chemical information with spatial resolution images of very small pieces, up to lớn 1 μm <28>. It has many benefits over fluorescence microscopy since it does not need external labeling. In addition, thermal analysis such as TED-GC/MS and pyrolysis-GC/MS has been employed with high reliability <20,29>. However, the chromatographic operation & procedure are more complicated, compared with the spectroscopic methods.
Saigon-Dong Nai basin is one of the main river systems of Vietnam, but there have been several studies on its plastic pollution <6,30,31,32>. According lớn the data of <31> the number of anthropogenic fibers varied from 22 to lớn 25 items per liter during the 1.5-year survey, và there was no relation between their concentration variations with rainfall, water discharge or abiotic factors. There are four main river systems through Can Gio Mangrove: (1) Soai Rap (Western border with Mekong Delta), (2) Đong Tranh (Northern border with Đong Nai), (3) Thi Vai River (Eastern border with Vung Tau province) and (4) Long Tau, which flows to ghen Rai Gulf. To the best of the authors’ knowledge from searching the literature, there were no official published research articles on microplastics in the Can Gio Biosphere Reserve by other research groups. All publications focused on the microplastic accumulation in the Saigon-Dong Nai basin (172–519 fibers/L, 0.01–0.223 fragments/L) <30> and Vung Tau (Dinh River, 32> by using FT-IR and/or stereomicroscopic methods. This article aims khổng lồ prove the spec-ificity & versatility of Confocal Raman microscopy (CRM, or μ-Raman spectroscopy) & employ the method in investigating the prevalence and dispersion of microplastics from Saigon urban canals to Can Gio Mangrove & eventually to the East Sea of Vietnam.
The powdered standard plastics were purchased from Goodfellow (Hamburg, Germany): low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with an average particle form size of smaller than 300 microns; polyethylene terephthalate (PET) 300 µm, un-plasticized polyvinyl chloride (u
PVC) 250 µm, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) 85 µm, và nylon-6 (PA-6) particles 15–20 µm in size. In addition, the raw pure plastic particles (diameter of 3 mm) of PP, HDPE & PS were supplied by Vietnamese plastic production companies.
Filtered deionized water (FDW) was prepared by filtering deionized water through a 0.4-μm filter membrane (Sigma Aldrich, Ho-Chi-Minh City, Vietnam) with the tư vấn of a vacuum filtration system before use. Whatman GF/A glass-fiber filter paper (diameter 47 mm, pore size 1.6 µm) was used khổng lồ extract microplastics.
A ZEISS Stemi 508 Stereo Microscope with 8:1 Zoom was firstly used lớn observe the whole area of the GF/A membrane & count the total number of particles. Every single piece was then analyzed in viewing & Raman modes with the Xplo
RA Horiba Raman One 532 nm integrating with optical parts of Olympus (Horiba Scientific, Montpellier, France).

The sampling locations were marked on the maps (Figure 1) (see detailed description and coordinates in Table S1 in Supplementary Materials). Bulk sampling was used in previous studies <30,33,34,35> from February 2020 to lớn March 2021. Wildco horizontal alpha water sampler or bucket (Table S2i in Supplementary Materials) was used khổng lồ take the water at the surface (surface water deep to 30 cm) during the slack water (end of low tide). To lớn obtain the reproducible & representative results for each canal system or zone of the reserve, water was taken in different sampling locations (Table S1 in Supplementary Materials). At each location, at least five water samples (1 L per sample) for five replicate analyses (up to lớn 45 replicates for the ghen Rai location in the East Sea) were taken in the middle along every canal system in the center of Ho đưa ra Minh city (Saigon urban canals); randomly in transition, buffer and core zones of Can Gio mangrove from the boat; và in the sea (ES1, ES2, ES3 và ES4) from the canoe.
Microplastics were extracted from the water samples by using the procedure of Khuyen et al. <36>. With the aid of a vacuum pump, 1 L of water sample was directly filtered through a GF/A membrane until the membrane became brownish yellow. Visible items on the filter membranes were picked up, cleaned with filtered deionized water (FDW), & stored for microplastic observation. All materials were immediately washed off with FDW, & the final volume of supernatant containing microplastics was reduced to lớn only 100–200 m
L. The supernatant was then digested with 30% hydrogen peroxide at 70–80 °C until the solution was discolored, và the mixture was incubated at room temperature overnight. Finally, the mixture was filtered và microplastics deposited on the filter membranes were analyzed with a Raman microscope. Five replicates of 1 Liter were applied for each sampling location.
There was a field control sample at each sampling location. Glass bottle containing 1 L of FDW was opened and placed during the sampling collection. Bottles containing samples were carefully sealed và transported lớn the laboratory. The air control samples were clean filter membranes on glass Petri dishes around the working area during sampling handling, vacuum filtering, và microplastic analysis. The water control samples were bottles containing 500 m
L FDW. All the control samples were directly analyzed khổng lồ observe whether contaminating microplastics were found in the actual samples. As a result, no microfibers were found, showing that fibers found in the study were not from clothes worn in the laboratory and during the sampling.
The number of pieces was counted manually & classified by polymer type, shape và color. The detailed procedure for distinguishing microplastics will be described in Section 3.1. The microplastic abundance in samples was expressed as items per liter of water (MPs/L), and the results were evaluated for statistical homogeneity by analysis of variance (ANOVA). Tukey’s multiple comparison kiểm tra was used to lớn analyze the mean differences between sampling locations in Saigon canal systems, between locations in Saigon with Can Gio, and with the East Sea. All statistical analyses were performed at a 95% confidence interval on SPSS v22 software (IBM SPSS Statistics 22, Armonk, NY, USA).

3. Results & Discussion

3.1. Combined Qualification & Quantification of Microplastics by Raman Microscopy 3.1.1. Visual Identification
The viewing mode includes two objectives: 10× and 50×. The larger objective allowed khổng lồ zoom powdered particles in the case of PA và PMMA. However, the images were not always clear. Thus, the shape, color and size (μm) were observed at 10×. The final kích cỡ was calculated depending on the shape. It was expressed as length for microfibers, và the sum of width and length for non-fibrous forms.
The morphology of debris under the microscopic mode could be used khổng lồ quantify the microplastics. Some criteria described by <37> were applied khổng lồ distinguish microplastic fibers (clothing, fishing nets, for instance) from non-plastic fibers (organic, or cellular structures, Figure 2a). Microplastic fibers were (1) clear và homogeneously colored, (2) soft and three-dimensional bendable Figure 2c; (3) equally thick, not segmented and not tapered towards the ends. Fibers, especially dark-colored ones, meeting the above requirements but having complicated spectra were called “unidentified group”. Moreover, the lengths of some fibers were close lớn the widths, & these cases were recorded in the shape of “bars or sticks” instead of particles as suggested by <15>. Non-fibrous shapes included particles with either spherical or aggregate of spheres, fragments (particles with jagged edges as a signal of fragmentation) and films with square or rectangle images. However, the film category always accounted for a small percentage, mainly because they were broken down into threads và filaments, thereby classified into fiber categories <38>. The other groups are foams & pellets (granules with the shape of a cylinder or a disk manufactured as a raw material of plastic goods).
In addition to shapes, colors can be a preliminary tool lớn guess the plastic type, behavior và origin of microplastics. Clear & transparent particles have been ascribed to polypropylene (PP) <39>, while black represented the sorption of PAHs & PCBs on PP and polystyrene (PS) <40>. Trắng pieces were assigned to polyethylene (PE) <39>, & their film or sheet shapes suggest they come from shopping bags & agricultural và food packaging films <41>. Colors can also indicate the weathering và decomposition degree, & residence time at the seawater surface. The discoloration can be caused by long exposure khổng lồ UV light (translucent color) <42,43>. In other words, the discoloration (yellowing) is a result of oxidized PCBs adsorbed on plastic resins in the environment <44>.
The Raman spectrometer with a 532 nm excitation laser and a charge-coupled device (CDC) detector was used lớn measure spectra of each thành công at ×50 objective in an integration time of 15 s và a grating of 900 gr/mm in a range wavelength from 50 lớn 3600 cm−1. In practice, plastic additives và organic pollutants such as PCBs, PAHs adsorbed on microplastics’ surface made the spectra more complex. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 30–35%) is a conventional oxidizing agent with higher efficiency, but little khổng lồ no degradation of polymers, compared with HCl và Na
OH <45>. The effectiveness depends on its concentration (15–35%), temperature (room temperature up khổng lồ 70 °C) of incubation & reaction times (a few hours lớn a week) <45,46>. The sample treatment was performed on all polymer standards before it was applied khổng lồ the actual samples khổng lồ evaluate the deterioration effects on the plastic types. The results showed their morphology và Raman spectra were not affected by peroxide oxidation. Thus, the peak shifts of sampled microplastics were mainly caused by the degradation in the environment. Nevertheless, as can be seen in Table 1, vibration wavenumbers of functional groups in pure plastic molecules could be recognized in the sampled microplastics’ spectra, which pointed out the high specificity of Raman spectroscopy in identifying the chemical composition of most common plastics.
Figure 3 showed the uneven distribution of microplastics in locations of Ho đưa ra Minh City. The microplastic amount was highest in residential areas, 45.89 ± 24.04 MPs/L in Bridge No. 1 (SG1 on the map, Figure 1) where floating rubbish from NL-TN canal was gathered, varied from 44.33 to lớn 58.57 MPs/L in Tau Hu Canal (SG8, SG9, SG1, SG11) belonging lớn Districts 6, 7, 8 và Tan Binh. Microplastics were found with a noticeably high abundance in some samples at the locations where the water environment was concentrated (dark color) with a higher number of visible floating garbage such as food boxes, clothing pieces & nylon bags. Among the repetition times, there were replicates obtaining a very high abundance of plastic debris, for instance, 160 MPs/L in Bridge No. 1 (SG1, Figure S1a), 110 MPs/L in Letter Y Bridge (SG10), 125 MPs/L in Lo Gom canal (SG10), & 220 MPs/L in Kenh Te Bridge (SG12). There was a dramatic decrease in the microplastic amount from the pollution sources to lớn Saigon River estuaries, for example, 23.92 ± 19.23 MPs/L in Bach Đang Wharf (SG7), & 27.33 ± 6.23 MPs/L in Khanh Hoi Bridge (SG15). Indeed, Tukey’s multiple tests showed significant statistical differences between Kenh Te Bridge và Khanh Hoi (Sig. = 0.005, Table S4), và Bach Dang Wharf (Sig. = 0.021, Table S4). There were no statistical differences between other locations.
These locations are grouped into four canals according lớn the geographical division of the Government. Nhieu Loc-Thi Nghe is a separate system inside HCMC flowing to Saigon River, while other canal systems connect HCMC with neighboring cities. Ben Nghe Canal (3.1 km) originates from the Lo Gom-Tau Hu Canal system (9 km), the Te Canal (KT, 4.5 km) is the continuation of the Doi Canal system (8.5 km). Đoi-Te and the Ben Nghe-Tau Hu canal basins join at the position of Nguyen Van Cu Bridge before flowing lớn Saigon River. Regarding the composition (Table 2), the percentages of plastic types were similar at close locations belonging to lớn each canal system. In general, nylon was the most abundant component, followed by polyester fibers. PE was also the second most frequently sorted in Ben Nghe & Te basins. In Nhieu Loc và Lo Gom basins, PE và PP were identified at the same proportions. Polystyrene was found with a higher percentage (around 12%) in the study of <56> but made up small percentages in our study. In fact, many fragments of PS food boxes were seen floating on surface waters while sampling, but they were regarded as macroplastics. Small-size particles in màu đen had a Raman band only at 1000 cm−1 of PS, which was not enough to assign them as PS microplastics. Physical processes, particularly wind blowing & water mixing influenced the sinking behavior of plastic debris, strongly affecting the presence of PS micro-size classes (57>.
Nhieu Loc-Thi Nghe canal system plays an important role in the city’s activities during its foundation và development. This 8.7-km long canal flowing through seven districts was the cleanest canal at the beginning of the reclamation of land in Southern Vietnam. It became the dirtiest canal in the 1970s mainly due khổng lồ the discharge of solid waste và wastewater from the slums on both sides of the banks. The water chất lượng in this canal has been significantly improved since 1993. It is now the cleanest canal in the city, thanks to lớn the largest canal clean-up programs (HCMC Environmental Sanitation Project) funded by the World ngân hàng and the đô thị Government <6>. Nonetheless, plastic pollution is still a concerning problem because plastic wastes can come from different sources such as direct dropping litter on land or at sea, blowing, leaching from landfills và losses during transport. According to lớn statistical data from Barnes et al. <58>, a large proportion of 40–80% of plastic garbage is from carrier bags, packaging, footwear, cigarette lighters & other domestic items. Indeed, in all urban canals, there is floating debris that comes from discarded wastes of tourists và residents, và natural vegetal waste, mainly water hyacinths drifting in from the không nên Gon River during high tides. The floating debris life cycle is specific to lớn each canal và not involved in solid waste management. The floating debris collection is very active in Nhieu Loc–Thi Nghe canal, conducted every day from 6 am to 6 pm. Indeed, the average values showed the lowest abundance of microplastics in this canal (Table 2), which is similar to the study of Lahens et al. <30>. The water unique of KT và TH-BN canal basins has been improved khổng lồ some extent thanks to HCMC Water Environment Improvement Project funded by the JICA <6>. Nonetheless, TH và LG canals flow along with the highest populated districts with many slum areas along the canals. The mismanaged wastewater management and ineffective floating debris collections in these districts led to higher pollution compared khổng lồ the Nhieu Loc canal <6>.
The average of MPs in our study (38.45 ± 24.93) was two orders of magnitude lower than the range of total microplastics reported by Lahens et al. <30> (172–519 fibers/L). The noticeable differences can be explained by different time periods, sampling techniques và analysis methods rather than the levels of plastic pollution in the studied regions as proposed by Enders et al. <15>. A few bundles of green fibers (Figure 2a) were detected in the state of being twisted together, thereby considered as “non-microplastics” due to lớn unclear shapes. Moreover, we found a large number of black particles whose images và spectra were difficult khổng lồ identify. Indeed, Raman analysis of black particles resulted in a considerably higher rejection rate, as suggested by Lenz et al. <59>. Hence, only black items with clearly homogenous shapes và identifiable structural characteristics were included in microplastic data, consequently leading khổng lồ small percentages (1.58–6.7%) of đen color.
The downstream of Saigon River merges with Dong Nai River to form Nha Be River and divides into two branches: Long Tau & Soai Rap Rivers, flowing to the East Sea (South trung quốc Sea) through Can Gio Mangrove. Plastic pollution sources, including direct dropping litter on land or at sea, blowing, leaching from landfills, & losses during transport, are mainly in the transition zone (from CT1 khổng lồ CT8 on the map). Nevertheless, its total microplastics (10.45 ± 3.67 MPs/L) are similar to the buffer zone (from CB1 lớn CB5 on the map) (10.75 ± 3.13 MPs/L), where human activities are more restricted. The geographical position is proposed lớn be the main reason. The transition zone consists of outer areas that are strongly affected by coastal features such as winds, waves, tides & river runoff, which makes microplastics dispersed & diluted unevenly <34>. Moreover, there are no clear geographical maritime boundaries between the zones because adjacent areas share the local canals & rivers.
Figure 4 indicates the distribution of plastic types in the zones of the Can Gio reserve. PE was the most abundant type in the transition & core zones, and almost all of it was in the size of fragments và particles. PET was the largest group in the size of fibers (35%) và fragments (35%) in the buffer zone but was the second-most dominant, mainly in fibrous khung (53.57%) in the transition zone and in both fibers (31.25%) and particles (31.25%) in the chip core zone. Fibers were found khổng lồ be abundant in the transition zone, especially in coastal locations. Can Gio 30 April Beach is the most attractive recreational beach, which is considered a vital pollution source, especially of polyamide fibers <60>. Fishing is the main income source of the local people, especially in Can Thanh. Zhu et al. <41> proposed that the origin of xanh nylon fibers is cables used in fishery activities. Moreover, fibers could originate from shipping <61>, especially at the intersection of main rivers—Đong Tranh và Long Tau, where large ships circulate every day. In addition khổng lồ plastics’ density at this location, the buoyancy effects of marine plastics in the water column were mediated by a high level of surface mixing caused by boat movement and seawater turbidity <34>. As a result, PET & PA dominated (26.53%), followed by PP (20.41%) and PE (10.2%).
In other words, microplastics were observed but in lesser numbers (7.48 ± 1.28 MPs/L) in the core zone (from CC1 khổng lồ CC3 on the map) although human domestic activities are strictly prohibited. This proves microplastics can be detected in areas far from pollution sources, & their abundance would depend on the proximity lớn urban sources. Microplastics, therefore, could be released from outer regions & float under the natural forces of water flows & accumulated in convergent zones <34>. The sediment of mangrove forests can be a suitable environment for microplastic storage because we found some trắng fragments and blue fibers similar to lớn ones in the seawater. The debris is difficult to detach from the sediment due to lớn the sticky characteristics of the sediment. Furthermore, pollutants retained in the vi xử lý core zone would be difficult lớn return to the marine environment because the waves are attenuated, and the water surface here remains calm <62>. Some studies reported the presence of microplastics in the mangrove sediment and roots <63>, but the role of mangroves as a filter of plastic debris for the seawater needs more investigation.
Figure 5 demonstrates remarkable changes in the relative abundance of microplastics from Ho-Chi-Minh đô thị (HCMC, Saigon urban canals/rivers) through Can Gio Mangrove (Can Gio seawater) to the East Sea (Soai Rap Estuary, from Long Tau Estuary to ghen Rai Gulf, và White Tiger Oilfield). Mangroves involve a special soil that accumulates carbon, nutrients and sediments as an “enhancer of sedimentation” <64>. Sediments deposited into mangroves come from allochthonous sediments (external sources lượt thích terrestrial or oceanic sources), and autochthonous sources (re-suspended sediments) <65>. Microplastics can be transported from the oceanic environment khổng lồ the mangrove and accumulated in the sediment layers in a similar way as in the aquatic environment <13>. This is considered one of the main reasons for the low number of microplastics within the Can Gio reserve. Indeed, the decrease in the amount of plastic debris highlights the feasible role of the mangrove in retaining contaminants including microplastics.
The Tukey’s thử nghiệm showed a statistical difference in total MPs between Binh Khanh ferry (CT1) with ganh Rai Gulf (ES3) (Sig. = 0.03, Table S3) và with Soai Rap estuary (Sig. = 0.03, Table S3). Tukey’s thử nghiệm showed a statistical difference in total MPs between Binh Khanh ferry with ghen Rai Gulf (Sig. = 0.03, Table S3), và with Soai Rap estuary (Sig. = 0.03, Table S3); between Rach Đon Bridge (Can Gio buffer zone, CB1) và Ganh Rai Gulf (Sig. = 0.014, Table S3). The comparison tests indeed showed some statistical difference between Saigon urban canals with Can Gio Mangrove & the East Sea, for example, Bui Huu Nghia Bridge (SG5) with transition zone (C1-Sig. = 0.01, C2-Sig. = 0.038, C3-Sig. = 0.018, Table S4), with downstream of Soai Rap River (ES2) (Sig. = 0.004, Table S4), downstream of Long Tau River (ES1) (Sig. = 0.036, Table S4), ghen tuông Rai Gulf (ES3) (Sig. = 0.001, Table S4) & White Tiger Oilfield (ES4) (Sig. = 0.011, Table S4).
The pollution sources concentrate in HCMC, & therefore the MPs amount there was highest (nearly 40 items/L) and decreased gradually khổng lồ the estuary areas. The number of microplastics in the Saigon river-estuarine system of our study falls into the range of concentrations reported by Strady et al. <31>, which was 22 to 251 MPs/L. At the intersection of HCMC và Can Gio (Binh Khanh Ferry), the microplastic concentration decreased lớn below trăng tròn MPs/L. The average abundance of MPs was around 10 MPs/L within Can Gio reserve, which was in the range of microplastics in Three Gorges Reservoir in china (1.597–12.611 MPs/L) <66>, Taihu Lake in china (3.4–25.8 MPs/L) <33>. This comparison could be made owing lớn the similarity of the position of Can Gio và Taihu in terms of geographical location & human activities. Nevertheless, Taihu Lake has become one of the most severely polluted lakes in đài loan trung quốc due to lớn the development of the local economy và industry & the presence of three wastewater treatment plants, but, in contrast, Can Gio is strictly protected by the government & UNESCO. Microplastics have eventually reached the East Sea, but in a smaller amount, from 3.1 ± 1.6 khổng lồ 4.7 ± 3.2 MPs/L.
The total microplastics in ghen Rai Gulf were much lesser than in the Jinhae Bay, South Korea (88 ± 68 MPs/L) <22>, but equivalent to lớn the Hudson River (USA) khổng lồ some extent (0.625–2.45 fibers/L) <67>. Microplastics in ghen tuông Rai (ES3) are predicted khổng lồ come from terrestrial & sea-based sources. The latter source is supposed lớn be maritime transport <68,69>, because the sampling sites are around the intersection of cargo ships & vessels carrying imported-exported fuels và gases. However, it is still not well understood what is the main reason for the presence of plastic debris in this area. According to lớn Browne, <70>, the source of maritime shipping is much smaller than land-based sources. In fact, microfibers accounted for a larger percentage than micro-particles (Table 3), which is attributed khổng lồ textile sources from the mainland. All of the investigated plastic types were encountered from the ocean surface to lớn the depths of 3 m in the sampling locations of tị Rai Bay. PE dominated the sea surface, whilst PA, PET, & PVC were predominant in the sub-surface samples, 2 m và 3 m, respectively. They are subject to lớn distribution more in the deeper seawater levels since their densities (up khổng lồ 1.14, 1.3–1.5 và 1.15–1.70 g/cm3, respectively) were higher than seawater (1.023 g/cm3 in measured average) <43,71,72>. PS was found in the sub-surface seawater with a higher abundance despite its similar mật độ trùng lặp từ khóa to the seawater. Hence, it can be seen that the vertical distribution of microplastics depends on not only the density of virgin polymers. Their distribution is also affected by the disturbance caused by the actions of internal wave & oceanic circulation modes in the seawater <73> since any abrasion, cracking và pitting of the surface can increase the density <43>.
As seen in Table 3, the majority of microplastics were fibers with various kích cỡ fractions. There was a surprising similarity in their colors in most environments. Trắng was always most predominant in all shapes of plastic types, particularly 18.1% for fibers. Pink (red), blue, purple and gray were popular colors of fibers (Figure 2), 15.7%, 14.4%, 12.4% and 10.2%, respectively. đen accounted for 7.6% of fibers. However, the đen was seen with purple or blue instead of completely black as activated carbon. These colors were also commonly found in fibers in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean (blue, black, red) <34>, Jinhae Bay, South Korea (green, blue, red) <22>, Qatar (blue, white) <74> và the Hudson River-USA (blue, black, red) <67>. The results showed that the distribution of plastic types was not much different by depth in the water column. PE dominated in the surface samples, PET & PA were predominant in the sub-surface samples. PE, PP & many PET fragments were attributed khổng lồ the breakdown products of plastic items, especially single-use water bottles & tableware. In ganh Rai, Soai Rap and White Tiger seawater, pink fibers were dominated by PET (Figure 2e), while xanh was more frequently observed in pa fibers (Figure 2d). In the water of Saigon canals, some parts of several colored fibers appeared brown, which showed the contamination of colored substances on the surface of microplastics in the environment.
Fibers were also commonly encountered in Can Gio reserve. However, their percentage (21–22%) was still lower than that of fragments (33–36%) (Table 3). The kích cỡ of plastic debris in this mangrove varied from 15 μm to lớn 53.38 μm, so smaller than those in Saigon urban canals (from 15 μm to 197.5 μm). Similarly, microfibers were only 60 μm maximum (53.43 μm on average) in the mangrove but were up to 561.23 μm (122.76 μm on average) in Saigon canal systems. The shape of fibers in locations of Can Gio & East Sea (Figure 2b–e) looked similar, that is, single colored fibers, which suggests that microfibers have dispersed in the marine environment. Differently, bundles of microfibers (Figure 2a) were quite often found in only Saigon urban canals. The small size fraction (25–50 μm) is quite common in the mangrove systems as also reported in the mangrove sediment of the Maowei Sea <63> and in Singapore’s coastal mangrove ecosystem <75>. The high percentages of small plastic fragments revealed that mangrove systems might accelerate plastic decomposition and accumulation. This, therefore, can promote harmful effects of plastic debris on the mangrove benthos lớn some extent.
Investigating microplastics in the aquatic environment is a time-consuming procedure of multiple steps, including sampling, separation, qualification & quantification. Raman scattering microscopy is a powerful tool lớn assess the microplastics in a water matrix with high specificity & low interference of water molecules. This study found that microplastic concentration decreased gradually from the urban waterborne (30–250 MPs/L) khổng lồ estuaries (10–20 MPs/L) và to the sea (3–5 MPs/L), which highlights the dispersion of microplastics in the marine environment. The data showed the variability in morphology và plastic composition of marine microplastics. Polyethylene, polyester and polyamide were predominant polymers of marine debris in the estuary location of Southern Vietnam. The findings indicated that the presence of marine plastic debris was associated with not only proximity lớn land-based sources, population density, but also natural water circulation in the sea. Nonetheless, it is a practical challenge lớn determine the exact sources and fate of microplastics in the coastal và marine environment because they are distributed randomly throughout the water column, especially in the sea surface microlayer. Finally, the prevalence of very small microplastics in fibrous và non-fibrous forms in the seawater warns the risks of microplastic pollution in UNESCO Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, which suggests that appropriate actions should be taken in time to protect the reserve and marine environment of Vietnam.
