Summary
This paper describes a new analytical method for extracting and quantifying microplastics from sediment using common laboratory equipment and salt solutions, making microplastic analysis more accessible to laboratories without specialized instruments. Standardized, low-cost methods are essential for expanding the geographic and temporal coverage of microplastic monitoring.
A new analytical approach has been developed to extract and quantify microplastics from sediments, using routine laboratory equipment and NaCl solutions.
