Microplastic River Sampling Checklist
Systematic review extracting where, when, and what to measure for microplastics in rivers and estuaries from 173 laboratory studies published 2014–2024
Riverine Microplastics Sampling Quality Criteria
Meta-analysis of 36 river microplastic studies with quality scoring framework for water column and benthic sediment sampling standardization
MicroTrack Sampling Devices for Microplastics & Microfibres
MicroTrack sampling devices for microplastics: SDW01 tap-water nozzle, SDAIR02 air pump sampler, SDSW03 marine depth sampler via drone.
CAPTOPLASTIC Capture Tech: Continuous Microplastics Capture via Agglomeration (Water & Wastewater)
Capture Tech by CAPTOPLASTIC is a continuous, in-line microplastics capture system based on agglomeration, using a reusable “capturer/collector” material to bind microplastics into aggregates that can be separated from the flow (marketed as a low-CAPEX/OPEX, “zero-waste” approach)
