Summary

De fleste microplastic forskning til dato er opstået i marine systemer hvor suspenderet solid er relativt lavt. Fokus er nu ved at flytte til ferskvands systemer, der kan funktionen høj sediment belastninger og flydende vragrester. Denne protokol adresser indsamle og analysere microplastic prøver fra akvatiske miljøer, der indeholder højt hængende fast last.
