Microplastics' Characteristics for Water Samples

<p>The characteristics of microplastics by the abundance, color, and size are shown for water samples collected in plastic bottles by VLPF, PONIKVE, THAMES 21, UNIPER, and DOW COMPANY Partners, on June 2022, as part of In-No-Plastic Project. Three replicates were collected at each sampling site. Water samples were filtrated by stacked stainless steel sieves with 4 mm and 32 &mu;m mesh sizes. After the organic matter was destroyed, the microplastics were observed by using an optical microscope.</p>
