Hello everyone,
I hope your week has been great! This week, I finished off with extracting as much micro plastics as I possibly could using a micro-pipette. I really thought this would be simple but I didn't realize how much time and tedious work this could be! I finished extracting as much plastic from plastic 2 classified as HDPE, a high-density polyethylene. Now I am to wait for the sediment to dry so I can continue with redoing the process again. I will continue tomorrow with extracting the rest of the micro-plastics from plastics 3-5, known as polyvinyl chloride, low-density polyethylene, polypropylene. Have a good spring break everyone!
- Francisco
