• Microplastics in freshwaters and drinking water: Critical review and assessment of data quality (2019, background): “Ethanol and formalin for instance, have been shown not to affect polymer characteristics (Courtene-Jones et al., 2017).”
• Twenty years of microplastic pollution research—what have we learned? (2024, unknown): “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 ).”
