Detection and Identification of Microplastics in Food and the Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers outlined methods for detecting and identifying microplastics across a range of environmental and food samples, emphasizing that different matrices — such as soil, water, air, and food — require tailored analytical approaches to accurately measure contamination levels.
Microplastic contamination is a relevant topic in Food and Environmental Sciences. Microplastic analyses in matrices such as food, soil, sediment, water, and air require a specific method approach according to their respective aims and scope. This chapter presents a...

The Environment, Health and Food Safety Impact of Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined the environmental, human health, and food safety implications of microplastic contamination, synthesizing evidence on how these ubiquitous particles move through ecosystems and enter the food supply, with a focus on risk assessment and regulatory considerations.
Analysis of Nanoplastics and Microplastics in Food
AI summary Read the abstract
The proliferation of plastic waste has created massive floating debris fields in the world's oceans, and analysis of food products reveals nanoplastics and microplastics are entering the human diet through contaminated seafood, salt, water, and packaging. The presence of these particles across the food supply means daily ingestion of microplastics is now a baseline condition for most of the global population.
