Drying. Expressing MP results as dry weight (MP/g sediment) is recommended due to high variability in the water content of sediments collected at different locations on the river bank ( van Cauwenberghe et al., 2015 ). For sample processing, drying methods such as oven drying, air drying, and freeze-drying can be used.
sand is used for plastering. Different river sands thus have different levels of demand, and river-specific sand mining impacts need to be evaluated accordingly. S.N o.

quality sand is not readily available as the required resources are depleting rapidly. Therefore, it is necessary to find a substitute to natural river sand; hence, there is a growing practice in which river sand is replaced with M-Sand. M-Sand is produced from hard granite stone by means of crushing.
