I want to work on Plastic Pellets (Nurdles) or granules of different sizes and polymers, and will be pleased if I can be guided on how best to source same for the sole purpose of an ecotoxicological studies on fish species.
Thank you

Contact Manufacturers: Some companies produce plastic pellets for various industrial uses and may be willing to supply samples for research purposes. Contacting manufacturers directly can sometimes yield samples specific to your research needs. Research Suppliers: There are scientific research suppliers and companies that specialize in providing materials for environmental science research, including nurdles used in toxicity testing. These suppliers often provide standardized products which can be important for maintaining consistency in your experiments. Educational and Research Collaborations: Universities or research institutions sometimes have ongoing projects related to plastic pollution and might have nurdles available. Collaborating with these institutions can provide access to materials as well as valuable insights and partnerships. Purchase Online: Some online retailers and specialty stores offer nurdles for educational purposes or for use in art. These sources can be useful, especially for small quantities, but ensure the product is suitable for scientific research in terms of purity and consistency. Environmental Sampling: If the study requires specific types of nurdles, such as those already exposed to environmental conditions, consider collecting them from polluted water bodies or beaches. However, this method requires careful consideration of ethical and legal aspects, as well as potential contamination that could affect your study.
