• Microplastics in Freshwater: What Is the News from the World? (2020, background): “Indeed, scientific literature uses different protocols for monitoring freshwater microplastics (fMPs), enhancing the difficulties for comparing research information [35].”
• Toward a Harmonized Approach for Monitoring of Riverine Floating Macro Litter Inputs to the Marine Environment (2017, background): “In general, approaches lack maturity or do not exist, requiring further development and agreement on basic definitions and methodologies, as e.g., for micro plastics sampling and analytical procedures (Dris et al., 2015).”
• Microplastic-Associated Biofilms: A Comparison of Freshwater and Marine Environments (2018, background): “Despite measurements of plastic density and composition in freshwater ecosystems [10, 43], little is known about microbial associations with plastic in unmanaged freshwaters.”
• River plastic emissions to the world's oceans (2017, background): “Sampling design and devices, as well as reported units (for example, pieces per m 2 , grams per m 3 ) vary substantially between different assessments 7 .”
• Analysis of environmental microplastics by vibrational microspectroscopy: FTIR, Raman or both? (2016, background): “Therefore, standardisation and harmonisation in microplastics research is highly needed as suggested by many authors [2, 4, 36, 37].”
• Synthetic fibers in atmospheric fallout: A source of microplastics in the environment? (2016, methodology): “While marine plastic pollution has been well documented, there has been limited focus on the continental contamination (Dris et al., 2015b; Wagner et al., 2014).”
• Wastewater treatment plants as a pathway for microplastics: Development of a new approach to sample wastewater-based microplastics. (2017, background): “The higher amount of fibres relative to particles 316 as shown in Figure 3 is consistent with Dris et al. (2015a) who found that fibres were the dominant 317 type of microplastic detected in secondary treated effluent from a WWTP in Paris.”
• Microplastics and mesoplastics in fish from coastal and fresh waters of China. (2017, background): “Plastics comprise the largest part of marine debris and have been reported as important pollutants in marine as well as freshwater environments (Thompson et al., 2004; Cole et al., 2011; Maximenko et al., 2012; Wagner et al., 2014; Dris et al., 2015).”
