Summary

This mini-review summarizes the current methods scientists use to detect microplastics in water systems affected by human activity. It provides an overview of the tools and techniques available for identifying and measuring these tiny plastic particles. Understanding detection methods is important because accurate measurement is the first step toward assessing how much microplastic pollution people are exposed to through water.

The review aspires to contribute a comprehensive overview of current methodologies in microplastic research and to enrich the ongoing discourse surrounding environmental pollution and its far-reaching impacts.
