Researchers issued a corrigendum correcting a previously published comparison of two pump-based sampling systems for small microplastics greater than 10 micrometers in coastal waters.

Comparison of two pump-based systems for sampling small microplastics (>10 μM) in coastal waters

AI summary · Read the abstract

Two pump-based microplastic sampling systems were compared in the Gulf of Bothnia, finding median concentrations of 117–162 MP/m³ with both devices performing comparably, supporting their use for small microplastic (>10 µm) monitoring in coastal waters.

Unlocking accurate microplastic data: Advanced pump systems for diverse aquatic environments

AI summary · Read the abstract

This study developed the MiPCS Pump, an innovative sampling system for collecting microplastics from diverse aquatic environments including rivers, coastal waters, and sediment interfaces. The pump system improved collection efficiency and reduced contamination compared to conventional grab sampling, offering a more accurate tool for aquatic microplastic monitoring.
