Metode ekstrakcije mikroplastike iz školjkaša
Summary
This paper reviewed and compared methods for extracting microplastics from bivalves such as mussels and clams, assessing the efficiency and reliability of different digestion and separation protocols. Robust extraction methods are essential for accurately measuring microplastic contamination in commercially important shellfish.
Plastic particles smaller than 5 mm are called microplastics, and can be present in atmosphere, ground, freshwater and marine water. The microplastic problem became more important in last decade because quantity rates are quite worrying. Microplastic particles have huge and destructive effects on marine organisms, relatively on their physiology functions. There are more methods for microplastic extraction from tissues of different organisms especially from mussels. In this research are used three methods for extraction microplastics from tissue of mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis: extraction from tissue with potassium hydroxide, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide. Tissue has been faster degradated with potassium hydroxide on temperature 60˚C, after that in nitric acid also on 60˚C. It takes longer time for tissue degradation in hydrogen peroxide, however, any of these three methods has showed succesfull.
