Summary

Meeste microplastic onderzoek tot op heden heeft plaatsgevonden in mariene systemen waar gesuspendeerde vaste niveaus relatief laag zijn. Focus verschuift nu naar zoetwatersystemen, die over een hoge sediment ladingen en zwevend puin beschikken kunnen. Dit protocol adressen verzamelen en analyseren van microplastic monsters van aquatische milieus waarin hoge gesuspendeerde vaste lasten.
