Poor extraction efficiencies of polystyrene nano- and microplastics from biosolids and soil.

Extraction and quantification of nano- and microplastics from sediments and soils is challenging. Although no standard method has been established so far, flotation is commonly used to separate plastic from mineral material. The objective of this study was to test the efficiency of flotation for the...
