Harmonized Reporting Guidelines for Microplastics Research

A screenshot of the Mind Map (LINK) showing the components and flow of reporting guidelines for microplastic studies. The first nodes branching off of “Microplastic Reporting Guidelines” are the general groups of the guidelines, subgroups follow in bold until the second to last nodes are the reporting guidelines (in italic) and the terminal node is the description of the guideline.

Harmonized reporting guidelines for microplastics studies – covering metadata, QA/QC, sampling, preparation, identification, quantification, and toxicology.

Sampling and QA/QC Guidance for Microplastics Research

A guide of considerations for QA/QC measures associated with sample collection through processing and analysis, to ideally be determined at the onset of a study. Boxes above the dashed line indicate items to consider that are based on matrix and analysis technique; boxes below the dashed line refer to considerations to be undertaken for purposes of QA/QC.

Authoritative sampling and QA/QC guidance on microplastics across matrices, covering contamination control, blanks, study design, and reporting best practices.
