Histograms visualizing the MP distribution within specified size groups, following each individual transfer. legends refer to the filter area occupied by particles (A%). Size distribution of MPs remains relatively stable following four successive transfers, yet SMPs display an increase in the smallest size fraction with decreasing A%. As a general trend, this tendency was not observed in FMPs and may therefore be linked to excessive A%, leading to increased probability of particle agglomeration and concealment
