Validation of an optimised protocol for quantification of microplastics in heterogenous samples: A case study using green turtle chyme

Quantifying the extent of microplastic (<5 mm) contamination in the marine environment is an emerging field of study. Reliable extraction of microplastics from the gastro-intestinal content of marine organisms is crucial to evaluate microplastic contamination in marine fauna. Extraction protocols...
