As research on plastic-related pollutants grows in Africa, it will become increasingly important to use harmonized methods to prepare and analyse samples for further analyses, so that results can be compared across the continent, and even globally. As such, in 2022 Sustainable Seas Trust hosted a workshop with researchers from African countries, to demonstrate methods for preparing biological samples (in that case, fish and bivalves) for the analysis of plastic-related pollutants. At the workshop, delegates expressed an interest in methods for preparing sediment samples for plastic-related pollutants, and that is how this chapter (Chapter 4) came into being. Chapter 4 has been published as an individual stand-alone chapter, but it forms part of the 2022 edition of the Sample Preparation Manual for the Analysis of Plastic-Related Pollutants. Plastic-related pollutants can accumulate in sediment, posing a risk to benthic organisms, and therefore it is important to determine baselines for.....
