Summary

A standardized universal sampling protocol for pelagic microplastics is proposed to generate qualitative and quantitative data that can be meaningfully compared across ocean regions. Harmonizing collection and characterization methods is a prerequisite for building the global dataset needed to track microplastic pollution trends over time.

The aim of this research is to propose the universal sampling method of pelagial waters to provide qualitative and quantitative data about marine microplastics [1]. It has been already confirmed that the plastic is ubiquitous in the marine environment and easily...
