Microplastics Analysis and Removal Techniques Proposal for Different Samples
Summary
Researchers reviewed microplastic analysis and removal techniques applicable to diverse sample types, noting that the field is still in early methodological development despite the introduction of ISO standards 4484 and 24187 in 2024. The study proposes analytical frameworks and removal method recommendations for different environmental sample matrices, highlighting gaps left unaddressed by current ISO guidance.
The field of microplastics is very big, but the analysis is still in the early stages of development. The International Standard Organization i.e. the ISO has given ISO-4484 and ISO-24187 on the microplastics released by textiles in the environment. This is the ISO standards are being introduced in 2024, Further, even the ISO-24187 does not specify the exact meaning of which analysis methods should be used for the particular given environmental sample, but the array of available methods gives errors despite of the set guidelines for sampling and analysis methods.
