英文摘要	Microplastics are a group of ubiquitous persistent pollutants that have rapidly attracted much attention from the scientific community as well as the general public due to the growing awareness of the environmental risks they pose. However, due to limitations and variations in sampling, analytical measurement methods, and the different units used for reporting data, reliable comparisons between studies in the Gulf region and internationally are not straightforward. This study proposes standardized protocols for marine sediment, seawater, marine biota and aerosol (1) sampling, (2) sample processing, (3) sample identification and (4) reporting units to be used. An attempt has been made to highlight the limitations of the widely employed strategies for sampling microplastics in seawater, where a large portion of the microplastics is not sampled due to the mesh sizes used. The issues with the processing of biota samples and aerosols are likewise addressed, and recommendations are also made for standardization of units for reporting microplastic quantification. Protocols for collection of bottom sediments and aerosols are also proposed. These are the environmental matrixes for which there are no harmonized protocols in the Gulf region; hence if a standardized approach is adopted, it will enable and improve comparisons between the studies within this region and can be useful for similar studies in other marine areas as well. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
