Summary

Researchers reviewed the primary identification and quantification methods for micro and nanoplastics (MNPs), covering spectroscopic, microscopic, and chemical analytical techniques used to detect particles across environmental and biological matrices. Standardized, reliable detection methods are essential for accurately tracking MNP contamination levels and informing regulatory and public health responses.

Millions of tonnes of plastic have contaminated the environment over time. Plastics are produced frequently for single use and come in a wide variety. The primary materials used in the plastic products industry are high-density polyethylene (hdpe), polypropylene...
