Summary

This systematic review summarizes current methods for detecting microplastics in water sources. The research highlights significant challenges in accurately measuring these tiny plastic particles, with different techniques yielding very different results. Better detection methods are essential for understanding how much microplastic is present in the water people drink and use daily.

Study Type Review

The need to detect and mitigate the presence of microplastics in water has been the focus of both researchers and scientists recently due to their impact on humans and the environment [...]
