Description
|
Microplastic (300-5000µm) concentrations were measured in the Tri An reservoir and Dong Nai River of Dong Nai province, Saigon River of Ho Chi Minh City, Dau Tien reservoir of Tay Ninh province and Vam Co River of Long An province, Southern Vietnam, under the COMPOSE project (2019-2021) and the CounterMEASUREII project (2021-2022).
Microplastic were sampled using a 80µm mesh size net from a local boat. The samples were extracted in the laboratory using enzymatic digestion, NaCl density separation and were filtrated on GF-A filter. Then microplastic were observed on stereomicroscope and length, area, color were measured for fragments, line and circle. Concentrations are given in total microplastic per m3, fragment per m3 and fibers per m3.
The sampling dates are October 2019, January 2020, May 2020, July 2020, October 2020, January 2021 and March 2021 under COMPOSE Project; October 2021 and January 2022 under the CounterMEASUREII project.

COMPOSE project "Creating an Observatory for Measuring Plastic Occurrences in Society and Environment" is funded by French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and is implemented by French Embassy in Vietnam and IRD.

CounterMEASURE project works to identify sources and pathways of plastic pollution in river systems in Asia, particularly the Mekong and the Ganges.
CounterMEASURE is managed by the UN Environment Programme Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. CounterMEASURE is funded through the generous support of the Government of Japan.
