Monitoring of plastic contamination in lakes and streams
SUPSI Image Focus
Sampling, sorting, identification (by morphological and size categories) and quantification of plastic concentrations (micro-, meso- and macroplastics).
These methods are essential for accurate monitoring of the presence of plastics in aquatic environments. The analytical techniques and methodologies used, combined with the development of sampling plans that can be customised to meet individual user requirements, provide accurate data for the development of strategies for the management and sustainability of aquatic ecosystems.
