Analytical methods for the determination of microplastics in the environment

AI summary Read the abstract

This review examines analytical methods used to identify and quantify microplastics in environmental samples, covering microscopy, spectroscopy, and chromatographic techniques as applied to water, soil, and biological matrices. The work evaluates the advantages and limitations of each method, discussing their real-world applicability for standardised microplastic monitoring across different sample types.

Mikroplastika je sveprisutna kontaminacija koja predstavlja ozbiljan ekološki i zdravstveni izazov. Ovaj završni rad istražuje različite analitičke tehnike koje se koriste za identifikaciju i kvantifikaciju mikroplastike u okolišu, fokusirajući se na njihovu primjenu u vodi, tlu i biološkim uzorcima. Pregledane metode uključuju, mikroskopiju, spektroskopiju, te tehnike kromatografije, ističući njihove prednosti, ograničenja i primjenu u stvarnom svijetu. Analizirane su specifičnosti svake tehnike u smislu osjetljivosti, točnosti i praktičnosti za terensku i laboratorijsku upotrebu. Razmotrena je važnost standardizacije metoda kako bi se osigurala usporedivost rezultata između različitih istraživanja i laboratorija. Nadalje, naglašena je potreba za daljnjim istraživanjem kako bi se bolje razumjeli utjecaji mikroplastike, te kako bi se razvile strategije za njeno smanjenje i upravljanje
