Throughout the first year of the project, I successfully conducted a total of six sampling campaigns on Si Chang Island in the Gulf of Thailand from August 2022 to April 2023. These campaigns were designed to collect zooplankton and water samples with the aim of investigating the presence and ingestion of microplastics in the region. Sampling was carried out during different seasons, including wet, intermediate, and dry, and at varying tidal intervals (spring and neap tides), with a one to two-week gap between each sampling.In addition to my research efforts, I have actively participated in several collaborative initiatives related to microplastic analysis. These include SEAFDEC, EuroQCharm, and GLPM projects, all of which aim to harmonize microplastic analysis methodologies on an international scale. By collaborating with these initiatives, I have contributed to the development of standardized methods for analyzing microplastics, which will enhance the quality and comparability of research findings across different regions and studies.

在整个项目的第一年中，我成功地在2022年8月至2023年4月在泰国海湾的Si Chang Island进行了六次抽样活动。这些运动旨在收集浮游动物和水上样品，目的是调查该地区微塑料的存在和摄入。在不同的季节（包括湿，中间和干燥）中进行采样，并在不同的潮间隔（春季和Neap潮汐）进行采样，在每个样本之间进行一到两周的差距。在我的研究工作中，我已经积极地参与了与微酶分析相关的几个协作计划。其中包括SEAFDEC，EUROQCHARM和GLPM项目，所有这些项目旨在在国际规模上协调微型分析方法。通过与这些举措合作，我为开发用于分析微塑料的标准化方法做出了贡献，这将提高不同地区和研究的研究结果的质量和可比性。
