Extraction of microplastics from sediment matrices: Experimental comparative analysis

Mel Constant et al.

Summary: This study investigated the efficiency of different extracting solutions and isolation methods for separating microplastics from sediment matrices, finding varying extraction rates depending on the type of polymer and solution used. The research highlights the lack of a robust protocol for extracting all types of microplastics from fine sediments and emphasizes the need for further research in this area.

Effects of anthropogenic discharge and hydraulic deposition on the distribution and accumulation of microplastics in surface sediments of a typical seagoing river: The Haihe River

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: The study found high abundance of microplastics in the Haihe River, with small particles and polyethylene being the main components. It also showed that microplastics abundance is related to the organic carbon content and particle size of sediments, with local sewage effluent and dams on the river being the main influencing factors.

Interactions between microplastics and oil dispersion in the marine environment

Min Yang et al.

Summary: The research found that the interaction between microplastics and oil, along with dispersants, could reduce the effectiveness of oil dispersion, especially under conditions of increased microplastic concentration and aging.

Developing a systematic method for extraction of microplastics in soils†

Freya Radford et al.

Summary: The study systematically compared different methods for extracting microplastics from soils, finding hydrogen peroxide to be the optimal method for organic matter removal and canola oil to be the best for density separation. The efficiency of microplastic recovery varied depending on polymer type and soil organic matter content.
