[O08-P16] Which can be used in shallow rivers, development of a microplastic sampling device

*Haruki Kawakita¹, *Shuntaro Sone², *Ryohei Noda², *Shotaro Ishikawa² (1.Johoku Senior High School, 2.Johoku Junior High School)

Keywords:Microplastics, Shakuji River

In this study, we developed a collection device to enable the collection of microplastics in the Shakujii River that flows near Johoku High School. In addition, as a result of multiple sampling attempts to confirm the performance of the created device, several objects that appeared to be plastic were identified.
