Microplastics in freshwater systems: A review on occurrence, environmental effects, and methods for microplastics detection. (2017, neutral): “As shown in Table 1, the researchers typically use net with 330 mm mesh to concentrate top water samples (Ryan et al., 2009; Hidalgo-Ruz et al., 2012; Eriksen et al., 2013; Zhao et al., 2014; Mani et al., 2015; Baldwin et al., 2016; Su et al., 2016; Anderson et al., 2017).”
Microplastics in freshwaters and drinking water: Critical review and assessment of data quality (2019, methodology): “, 2018), however sometimes higher temperatures up to 75 C (Anderson et al., 2017; Baldwin et al., 2016; Estahbanati and Fahrenfeld, 2016; Hendrickson et al., 2018; Hoellein et al., 2017; Pivokonsky et al., 2018) or even 80 C were used in some of the digestion steps (Vermaire et al.”
Synthetic Polymer Contamination in Bottled Water (2018, background): “, 2014), but more recently plastic pollution has been found within freshwater lakes, inland seas, rivers, wetlands and organisms from plankton to whales (and nearly every species in between; Eriksen et al., 2013; Baldwin et al., 2016; Horton et al., 2017; Lusher et al., 2017).”
A Global Perspective on Microplastics (2020, background): “As further evidence of the dilution capacity occurring in lakes, Baldwin et al. (2016) determined that microplastic concentrations in the surface waters of tributaries exceeded those of the Great Lakes; that is, the mean concentration was 4.2 particles m−3 in 29 tributaries, while only 0.27…”
