Microplastic pollution has gained significant attention, and there are growing concerns about its potential effects on aquatic environments. The lack of proper solid waste management in Egypt has resulted in the accumulation of plastic litter and its deposition in waterways. However, no attempts have been made to identify or assess marine plastic litter in Egypt. We provide, for the first time, a precise, simple, and cost-effective method to identify microplastics in Eastern Harbor by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This screening revealed the presence of ten polymers in seawater and shoreline sediments. Most of the extracted microplastics are secondary microplastics, as they appear to be remnants of larger plastic fragments.
