What does microplastics in water mean in practice?
The result depends strongly on the method of collection, sample preparation and the lower limit of determination of the method used.
When does it matter?
The term does not represent a single routine parameter, so comparing results without a test method can be misleading.
Which solutions are related to it?
Particles are reduced by size-specific mechanical and membrane filtration; RO is also a barrier to very fine fractions.
