Summary

This Indonesian review summarizes microplastic sampling methods for freshwater and seawater environments, covering techniques for water column and sediment sampling with their respective advantages and disadvantages. The paper aims to help researchers select appropriate methods for local conditions. This is a methods review focused on Southeast Asian contexts with limited new research findings.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastic had been contaminating freshwater ecosystem. But, our knowledge to identify kind of microplastics are still limited. Microplastic research methods in both water and sediment are generally divided into several stages: sampling, sample purification and sample identification. Samples can come from water or sediment. This journal provides several microplastic sampling methods to choose from, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Until a pure microplastic sample is obtained.
