Summary

Researchers reviewed the principal methods used to detect and characterize microplastics across diverse environmental matrices, evaluating the strengths and limitations of spectroscopic, microscopic, and thermal analysis techniques for identifying particle size, shape, and polymer type.

Microplastics, defined as small plastic particles typically measuring less than 5 mm, have become widespread environmental pollutants, posing significant risks to ecosystems and human health. The detection and characterization of microplastics in diverse...
