Journal Article
RAMAGE, S.J.F.F., PAGALING, E., HAGHI, R.K., DAWSON, L.A., YATES, K., PRABHU, R., HILLIER, S. and DEVALLA, S. 2022. Rapid extraction of high- and low-density microplastics from soil using high-gradient magnetic separation. Science of the total environment, [online], 831, article 154912. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154912

Microplastics (MPs) are present in all environments, and concerns over their possible detrimental effects on flora and fauna have arisen. Density separation (DS) is commonly used to separate MPs from soils to allow MP quantification; however, it freq...
