Summary
This paper evaluated whether laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) could become a leading technique for detecting and imaging microplastics within biological tissues. If validated, this approach could allow researchers to precisely map where plastic particles accumulate in organs, greatly improving understanding of how microplastics affect living organisms including humans.
