Extraction and analysis methods of microplastics in bivalves
Summary
This paper reviews the methods used to extract and analyze microplastics from bivalves such as mussels and oysters, comparing techniques for digestion, filtration, and identification. Standardizing these methods is important for producing comparable data across studies on microplastic accumulation in shellfish.
The NOAA Central library was asked to prepare the following bibliography on methods of extraction and analysis of microplastics in bivalves in order to support future research by the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science. This bibliography focuses specifically on literature that discusses methods of extraction and analysis of microplastics in bivalves.
