High throughput application of ASTM D8332: Detailed prototype design and operating conditions for microplastic sampling of riverine systems
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers designed and tested a high-throughput pumping system based on the ASTM D8332 standard as an alternative to net-based sampling for collecting microplastics from turbulent, sediment-heavy freshwater rivers and stormwater systems. Improving sampling methodology is critical for generating reliable data on microplastic concentrations in river systems, which are a major pathway for plastic pollution reaching the ocean.

Assessment of Microplastics from Surface Water Bodies: Challenges and Future Scopes
AI summary Read the abstract
"This review assessed various analytical techniques for detecting microplastics in Indian surface water bodies—including visual sorting, spectroscopy, and microscopy—finding that no single method is fully adequate and that standardized protocols are urgently needed. Reliable detection methods are a prerequisite for accurate exposure assessments, since underestimating microplastic concentrations in rivers and lakes directly leads to underestimating human health risks from drinking water and freshwater fish consumption."
