英文摘要	We investigated an unexpected microplastic (MP) leakage event that occurred along the coastline of Yantai in January 2021. Sediment samples were collected from three zones on 9 beaches. MPs were identified with an average abundance of 247.6 +/- 125.6 items/m2 on 7 beaches. The total amount of MPs from the leak accident was estimated to be 1.50 x 107 items (514.67 kg). The MPs were identified as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and PP/PE blends using mu-FT-IR analysis. By utilizing a numerical model, the transmission process and potential source of MPs were demonstrated. The modeling results showed that the MPs might originate from the central and western part of the Bohai Sea and be driven to the beaches of Yantai by northwest wind and wind-induced surface current. However, due to the absence of direct evidence, the simulation results might only indicate the range of the leaking source, which was the movement trajectory of MPs.
