dc.description.abstract | Microplastic pollution in the marine environment is a scientific topic that has received increasing attention over the last decade. The majority of
scientific publications address microplastic pollution of the sea surface. The protocol below describes the methodology for sampling, sample
preparation, separation and chemical identification of microplastic particles. A manta net fixed on an 'A frame' attached to the side of the vessel
was used for sampling. Microplastic particles caught in the cod end of the net were separated from samples by visual identification and use of
stereomicroscopes. Particles were analyzed for their size using an image analysis program and for their chemical structure using ATR-FTIR and
micro FTIR spectroscopy. The described protocol is in line with recommendations for microplastics monitoring published by the Marine Strategy
Framework Directive (MSFD) Technical Subgroup on Marine Litter. This written protocol with video guide will support the work of researchers that
deal with microplastics monitoring all over the world. | en_US |
