Mass spectrometry-based multimodal approaches for the identification and quantification analysis of microplastics in food matrix

Summary

This review examines mass spectrometry techniques for identifying and measuring microplastics in food, covering methods that analyze both the chemical composition and quantity of plastic particles. The study suggests these advanced analytical approaches could help bridge the gap between environmental monitoring and understanding actual human exposure levels. Better measurement tools are needed to assess how much microplastic people are consuming through their diet.
