Test Method for Determination of Microplastics Particle and Fiber Size, Distribution, Shape, and Concentration in Waters with High to Low Suspended Solids Using a Dynamic Image Particle Size and Shape Analyzer

2023
D19 Committee

Summary

This ASTM standard describes a test method using dynamic image particle analysis to measure microplastic particle size, shape, and concentration in water samples with varying levels of suspended solids. The method provides quantitative characterization of microplastic physical properties. Standardized test methods are essential for producing comparable microplastic data across laboratories and monitoring programs.

Study Type Environmental

Significance and Use 5.1 Many microplastic particles enter the environment, including ambient waters and drinking water supplies, via wastewater sources resulting from both industrial processes and consumer products. The presence of high percentages of or
