Defining the baseline and standards for microplastics analyses in european waters
Although microplastics (MP) are recognized as an emerging contaminant in the environment, currently neither sampling, extraction, purification nor identification approaches are standardized, making the increasing numbers of MP studies hardly -if at all- comparable.
The overall goal of this interdisciplinary and international collaborative research project was to overcome this problem through a profound and detailed comparison and evaluation of all approaches from sampling to identification of MP.
