Abstract
    The one-year European project MISSOURI focuses on microplastics (MP) in soil and groundwater and aims at conducting a state-of-the-art review along a “sources-transfer-exposure” continuumand at participating in a European-scale interlaboratory study (ILS) in order to provide recommendations on separation and analytical methods in an idea of harmonization. This work aims at proposing a harmonized definition for microplastics, a set of laboratory methods for the separation and analysis of microplastics in soil and at identifying priorities for futureprojects. It also aims at giving first recommendations for decision-making and management of soil quality regarding the potential risks associated with microplastics in soil and groundwater. The mid-report focuses on work completed during the first 6 months of the project: i/ soil spiking with MP microspheres in order to provide 5 soil samples for the ILS that started in October 2020, and ii/ survey sent to stakeholders in December 2020 in order to collect their current difficulties andconcerns encountered with MP management and treatment as well as their expectations on data collection and future studies.
