Abstract/Summary
• Cheap, effective method for microplastic extraction from sediments. • High, reproducible recovery rates - 95.8%. • Comparison of three commonly used floatation media. • Zinc chloride (1.5 g cm−3) deemed an effective floatation medium. • Method applied to environmental samples across a range of sediment types.
