Detection of microplastics in gastrointestinal tract of lipid-rich fish
In order to establish the detection method of microplastics in lipid-rich biological samples,taking the gastrointestinal tract of fish as the research object,6 types of microplastics with different particle sizes(10-100 μm,100-500 μm,500-1000 μm and 1-5 mm)and different density(ρ<1.15 g·cm-3,ρ>1.3 g·cm-3)were selected as the verification object,and the problems of low recovery,saponification reaction interference and inaccurate counting in the traditional KOH digestion method were optimized.The results showed that the separation funnel double-density flotation method can effectively reduce the loss of microplastics and the interference of sediment,and the recovery rate was 91%—100%.The removal efficiency of soap induced by saponification reaction occurred by the combination of 100℃hot water and ethanol was 98%±1.08%,and the digestion efficiency of biological samples was 99%±0.56%.We find different types of microplastic stained with Nile Red present distinguishable fluorescence under different light filters.Except that some polyamide(PA)microplastics turn yellow,this method has no obvious effect on the infrared spectrum and carbonyl index of PA,polyethylene(PE),polypropylene(PP),polystyrene(PS),polyethylene terephthalate(PET)and polyvinyl chloride(PVC).The actual sample application showed that the digestion rate of this method for different reaches and different kinds of wild fish samples was 97%—100%,and the detection rate of microplastics(84.70%)was significantly higher than that of traditional stereomicroscope(54.64%).
