Summary: Microplastics research focuses on understanding sources, pathways, and occurrence in the environment. It is crucial to determine appropriate sampling methods and follow strict QA/QC measures to ensure accurate estimates of contamination. Comparing different sampling procedures and QA/QC strategies can inform best practices for future environmental assessments.
