Fig. 5From: Investigating the correlation between morphological features of microplastics (5–500 µm) and their analytical recoveryThe diagram plots average recovery rate (RR) of FMPs (5–50 µm) and SMPs (50–500 µm) within specified size groups, based on 12 transfers. The total number of transferred particles within these groups is marked by triangles. Average RR across the entire size range was estimated at 80% with a std. dev. of 26%. No correlation between RR and size could be establishedBack to article page
