Summary

This ASTM practice document provides standardized guidance for collecting water samples with varying levels of suspended solids for microplastic identification and quantification. The standard addresses challenges of microplastic analysis in turbid waters where inorganic and organic particles can mask plastic particles.

Significance and Use 5.1 When significant quantities of inorganic or organic material are present in water samples (high suspended solids), microplastic particles/fibers can be masked and the ability to conduct reliable identification and quantification a
