About this document

Microplastics Monitoring in Marine Ecosystems by novi is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document reviews methods for monitoring microplastics in the marine environment. It discusses sampling microplastics from seawater, beach and seabed sediments, and marine organisms. Pretreatment steps like drying and sieving samples are described. Extraction of microplastics is based on density separation techniques using salt solutions. Quantification can be done microscopically and identification with FTIR, Pyr-GC/MS, and Raman spectroscopy. The review emphasizes the need for standardized monitoring
