Sampling Aabybro

All equipment and microplastic water were prepared by Eurofins in Bergen/Norway and shipped to Aabybro/Denmark.
The sampling started Tuesday 2nd of July at 4 PM and was completed Tuesday 9th of July at 3 PM. The sampling point/samples were moved to the other side of the building at Wednesday 3rd of July because the weather forecast showed some strong winds.

The weather information of the closest major town is shown below.

Data collected from https://www.vaeret1.com/ for Aalborg.

The samples were checked every day except for the Saturday and Sunday. It was checked that all samples where undisturbed by the wind and the funnel rinsed with water down into the sample but taking care to not use to much water (given the rainy weather).
At the end of the sampling the funnels were rinsed one last time, and the bottles closed with aluminum foil between the cork and the bottle before being returned to Eurofins in Bergen for testing.
