Microplastics in sediments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf
Om publikasjonen
During the regional environmental sediment monitoring on the Norwegian Continental Shelf on behalf of the Oil & Gas industry in 2017, 35 sediment samples from a large geographical area were sampled, covering the central North Sea, northern North Sea and the Barents Sea.
The sediment samples were analysed for microplastic concentrations and number of items by an innovative analytical procedure. This report describes the analytical procedure and the analytical results.
