Microplastics monitoring protocol: natural objects

Full description

Examples of the natural objects include:
 • Dark grey shell of a biological nature next to a colourless transparent object
 • Filaments of biological origin (cellular structure visible) surrounded by grains of sand
 • Filaments of biological origin (cellular structure visible) next to a pediastrum (green algae) colony (necklace type green object with triangles arranged in a circle).
 • Examples of phytoplancton (tri-needle shape on the right, three-filament shape on the left) and a potential grain of sand (grey)
 • Colony of diatomes, rectangular shape, most likely Fragilaria
