• Twenty years of microplastic pollution research—what have we learned? (2024, positive): “Acid and alkali digestions have been used to separate microplastics from organic-rich matrices, including biota and sew-age sludge ( 122 ), and more recent developments include less-aggressive enzymatic approaches ( 123 , 124 ) and the use of Fenton ’ s reagent ( 125 ).”
• Microplastic ingestion and diet composition of planktivorous fish (2020, methodology): “After identifying prey items, we processed samples to extract potential MP, using a solution of 10% KOH, prepared in ultrapure water, for 24 h at 60 C (Dehaut et al. 2016) and filtered through 20 μm polycarbonate membrane.”
• Microplastics in bivalves and their habitat in relation to shellfish aquaculture proximity in coastal British Columbia, Canada (2019, result): “Given that the lower limit for reliable visual identification of particles has been stated by some researchers as 100 µm in diameter (Dekiff et al. 2014, Lenz et al. 2015), the results of Kazmiruk et al. (2018) are unusual and unprecedented in the published literature.”
• Microplastics in fisheries and aquaculture (2017, methodology): “To date the use of Potassium hydroxide (KOH) seems to be the most appropriate strategy (Dehaut et al., 2016; Kühn et al., 2016; Lusher et al., 2017).”
• Recommended best practices for plastic and litter ingestion studies in marine birds: Collection, processing, and reporting (2019, background): “Acidic solutions tend to dissolve some polymer types (Dehaut et al. 2016; Lusher et al. 2017), and may degrade plastics, which can reduce their mass or lead to yellowing (which is important to note in relation to reporting the colour of plastics; Dehaut et al. 2016).”
