520 | 3 |a"There is growing need and interest in quantifying and characterizing microplastics in Canada's coastal and open ocean environments. However, microplastic research is a developing field, where sampling, extraction, and reporting techniques are evolving rapidly. This report aims to provide necessary information for researchers to start working in the field quickly with rigorous standards, by conducting a thorough examination of the most prominent methods currently available. A comprehensive review of 46 papers is provided with an overview of sampling and extraction techniques and the advantages and limitations for each. Papers were selected based on prominence in the literature and variation in sample collection, polymer identification, and reporting practices. Focus is given on controlling for background and procedural contamination, investigating microplastic abundances to size fractions <50 μm, and accurate reporting for sediment, seawater, zooplankton, and shellfish. Methods to extract microplastics from each matrix are discussed with a brief introduction on the state of research for each as of March 31, 2019. While this document focuses on microplastic particles between 1–5000 μm in size, a brief discussion on nanoplastics, which are particles smaller than this range, is also provided. Various options for microplastic identification and enumeration are evaluated, including the critical step of post-extraction chemical identification, which is needed to confirm the identity of microplastic particles from all types of samples. This guide should help researchers characterize and quantify microplastics in the marine environment, which will help develop programs that provide accurate, high resolution data useful for management of this anthropogenic stressor"--Abstract, page v. |
