Microplastics (MPs) in deep-sea environments are a growing concern due to their potential ecological risks and the deep sea's role in global biogeochemical cycles. This study investigated the characteristics and distribution of MPs in sediments from the Pacific Ocean at depths of 4900-7016 m across three regions: Western Pacific (WP), Central Pacific (CP), and Eastern Pacific (EP). MPs were detected at all sampling sites, with the highest abundance in WP (111.3 ± 75.1 items/kg dw) and the lowest in CP (49.4 ± 18.7 items/kg dw). Site S
