A review on microplastics separation techniques from environmental media

Iqra Nabi et al.

Summary: The world is facing a severe issue of microplastics pollution. The existing methods for removing microplastics from different environmental media have limitations and lack standardization. Future research should focus on developing cost-effective separation methods for efficient removal of microplastics.

Scientists' warning to humanity on the freshwater biodiversity crisis

James S. Albert et al.

Summary: Freshwater ecosystems play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, ecosystem productivity, and human health and welfare. However, human impacts are leading to rapid declines in freshwater biodiversity and the loss of critical natural resources and services, with the degradation occurring more quickly than in terrestrial ecosystems. To address these challenges, urgent policy actions are needed to promote clean water, conserve watershed services, and restore freshwater ecosystems.

Considerations on salts used for density separation in the extraction of microplastics from sediments

Laura Cutroneo et al.

Summary: This study analyzed fifty studies to investigate the salts most commonly used for microplastic extraction, with NaCl, ZnCl2, and NaI being the top choices. The report concluded that NaCl remains the most readily usable, economical, and effective salt for extracting microplastics from marine sediments.
