Research on microplastics in environmental surface water such as oceans, rivers, and lakes is being conducted around the world. Microplastics investigations include sample sampling, preparation, size and piece measurement, and qualitative analysis.

 

STEP1

Sampling is performed from oceans and rivers. Determine the collection location according to published guidelines.
