2025
Ayan Lodh, Mozim Shafi, Sudha Goel

Summary

Researchers survey advances in methods for detecting and identifying microplastics in freshwater ecosystems, finding that the lack of standardized extraction and analytical protocols remains a major barrier to understanding the full scope of microplastic contamination in aquatic environments.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics (MPs) have become widespread pollutants in freshwater ecosystems, posing a considerable threat to aquatic and terrestrial life, including humans. The absence of standardized extraction and identification methods for MPs is impeding research progress....
