Arrange the following sources of microplastics as found in ocean from their high to low abundance:

From high to low abundance the ocean microplastic sources run synthetic textiles, car tyres, marine coatings, personal care products and plastic pellets.

Statement 3, synthetic textiles, contribute the most as fibres shed during washing of clothes.

Statement 4, car tyres, come next through the abrasion of tyre particles washed off roads.

Statement 5, marine coatings, follow as paints and coatings flake from ships and structures.

Statement 2, personal care products, add microbeads from scrubs and cosmetics in smaller amounts.

Statement 1, plastic pellets, contribute the least, as spilled pre-production resin beads.

Microplastics are tiny fragments under five millimetres that accumulate through marine food chains.
