Manta Net: The Golden Method for Sampling Surface Water Microplastics in Aquatic Environments

چکیده

Microplastics (MPs) (plastic particles < 5 mm in size) have become the most ubiquitous type of anthropogenic litter contaminating aquatic environments worldwide, and are capable harming organisms entering food web. Microplastic research has rapidly evolved over several decades, with many studies sampling microplastic surface waters. For sea MPs, different net devices been used. But although there is an increasing number using these to quantifying MPs environments, data comparison difficult due lack standardised, harmonised methods reporting units. The Manta device actually commonly used method for MPs. three main parts this are: floating/stabilizing part, opening mouth bag, each them can its own specifications. These specifications, along methods, be critical efficiency accurate quantification environments. use mesh sizes, inconsistency trawling duration, speed distance, dimensions, make it impossible compare between other. This review analyzes methodologies characteristics nets sampling, discussing factors that impact proposes recommendations order improve standardize protocol.

A review of microplastics measuring methods in water and wastewater bodies

Background and Objective: Recently, microplastics (MPs) have been found in the aquatic and terrestrial environments, air, and food. Other pollutants can be transported by MPs and pose a threat to the human, animal, and environment. Measurement and evaluation of microplastics can either increase knowledge about them or boost understanding of their possible harmful effects. However, no standard m...
