Measuring Microplastics in Fish: Effective Detection and Sampling Methods
To measure microplastics in fish, use methods like visual inspection and spectroscopy for identification and quantification. Apply solvents for extraction and techniques like pyrolysis-GC/MS for analysis. Choose sampling sites carefully and conduct toxicity testing with stock solutions for accurate results. Dr. Danielle Garneau at SUNY Plattsburgh leads related research. Another method involves microscopy, which allows … Read more
