Summary

This review summarizes research progress on microplastics, covering their sources, distribution across environmental compartments, detection methods, and ecotoxicological effects on organisms. The authors highlight key knowledge gaps including the long-term fate of small microplastics and nanoplastics in terrestrial and aquatic systems.

Microplastics ( MPs ) pollution has become a global persistent pollution problem and endangers human health, so it has received widespread attention from the public. Therefore, it is of great significance to find accurate and efficient microplastic pollution detection methods in the field of environmental protection. In this paper, the common processing and detection methods of microplastics are described, which provides a reference for future research on microplastics.
