Article Carbonates: Association With Organic Matter in Surface Seawater

I think these could help you;

They're available on the ResearchGate Server for download.

Thank you very much! It will be very helpful.

Best regards,

What the books told us about this subject are out of date. Today, suspended particles includes plastics and denim material from old decayed jeans.

Unfortunately, yes... and this is the reason why I am interested also in suspended minerals particels, that can interact with plastic debris.

Plastic particles and cotton fibers are certainly present in the suspension, but they are certainly not the predominant component of turbidity. On the one hand, mineral particles transmitted by wind from continents and produced by destruction in the surf will predominate. Biomineral particles produced by plankton (calcite rings from coccolites, biogenic opal, etc.) will certainly be locally completely dominant. From the analyzes of recent deep sea sediments it is clear that the deposited material is strongly inhomogeneous. The deep-sea ooze has a wery different composition than the sediment from the turbidity of the streams, e. g.. Such a coccolitophore bloom can do wonders. Just put "coccolitophore bloom" in Google (the quotation marks are important).
