I was able to see the dried result of the top and bottom layers of sediment that I had left out to dry. The top layer was very dark and crusty and dramatically decreased in size after undergoing the evaporation. This was the same case with the bottom layer of sediment but it appeared to have a tannish color. We will most likely use hydrogen peroxide to burn off the organic matter to see how much of the composition are microplastics. Everything was weighed and it will be exciting to see how many microplastics were successfully removed.
