Summary

This is an ASTM standard practice document for preparing water samples with varying suspended solids levels for microplastic analysis by Raman spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, or pyrolysis-GC/MS. Standardizing sample preparation is essential for producing reliable and comparable microplastic data.

Significance and Use 5.1 Large volumes of water are required to be sieved for accurate quantification of microplastics. Water with high to medium content of suspended solids can lead to an excess of inorganic and organic background material which can inte
