Cover Story: This study explores microplastic (MP) pollution in four inland saline lakes of the Central Ebro Basin, NE Spain, which are fragile and understudied ecosystems. Using micro-FTIR and optical microscopy, we identified MPs in all these lakes at concentrations from 850 to 1556 MPs/L, with polyester, PET, and nylon being the most abundant polymers. The highest MP diversity was found in the smallest, most isolated lakes, likely due to atmospheric deposition, wind transport, and nearby anthropogenic sources. The results highlight the need to better understand MP accumulation in endorheic systems with no water outflow. View this paper
