TLDR
In this paper, the Small Volume Glass Separator (SVMGS) is proposed to isolate microplastics from freshwater samples and concentrate the treated sample in a small volume, thus reducing the brine solution use and the sample transfer steps.About:

Quality assessment of research studies on microplastics in soils: A methodological perspective.
TL;DR: In this article , a quality assessment of soil microplastics from a methodological perspective is presented, which is based on the adapted Criteria for Reporting and Evaluating Ecotoxicity Data (CRED) method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standardizing microplastics used for establishing recovery efficiency when assessing microplastics in environmental samples.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the recovery efficiency of microplastic contamination in the environment and found that the established recovery efficiency may not be reflective of that obtained with mixtures of micro-plastics found in environmental samples.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compare two well-established and frequently applied data analysis algorithms in regard to results in abundance, polymer composition and size distributions of MP (11-500 µm) derived from selected environmental water samples: (a) siMPle analysis tool (systematic identification of MicroPlastics in the environment) in combination with MPAPP (MicroPlastic Automated Particle/fibre analysis Pipeline) and (b) the BPF (Bayreuth Particle Finder).

Internal interaction between chemically-pretreated polypropylene microplastics and floc growth during flocculation: Critical effect on floc properties and flocculation mechanisms
TL;DR: In this article , the presence of microplastic contaminants would affect floc morphological properties and associated flocculation mechanism, various chemically-pretreated polypropylene (PP) microplastics were firstly produced by exposing pristine ones to HCl or NaOH solution at two concentrations of 1 and 5 mol/L.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic Pollution: Chemical Characterization and Impact on Wildlife
TL;DR: In this paper , the presence of microplastics in various species of wildlife, including fish, birds, and mammals, was analyzed using a variety of analytical techniques, such as microscopy and spectrometry, which identify and quantify the microplastic in the samples.

Microplastics in freshwaters and drinking water: Critical review and assessment of data quality.
TL;DR: More high quality data is needed on the occurrence of microplastics in drinking water, to better understand potential exposure and to inform human health risk assessments, and there is a significant need to improve quality assurance ofmicroplastic sampling and analysis in water samples.

TL;DR: To assess the environmental risk associated with microplastics, comprehensive data on their abundance, fate, sources, and biological effects in freshwater ecosystems are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in the seas
TL;DR: Microplastics are likely the most numerically abundant items of plastic debris in the ocean today, and quantities will inevitably increase, in part because large, single plastic items ultimately degrade into millions of microplastic pieces.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new analytical approach for monitoring microplastics in marine sediments
TL;DR: A two-step method was developed to extract microplastics from sediments using the air-induced overflow (AIO) method, based on fluidisation in a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution, and selected biogenic material had dissolved completely or had lost its colour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in Taihu Lake, China
TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that high levels of microplastics occurred not only in water but also in organisms in Taihu Lake, the third largest Chinese lake located in one of the most developed areas of China.
