Methodology of Assessing Microplastics and Nanoplastics in the Environment: Recent Advances in the Practical Approaches

Summary

Researchers reviewed recent advances in practical analytical methodologies for detecting and characterizing microplastics and nanoplastics across environmental matrices including water, soil, and food. Reliable, standardized detection methods are foundational to understanding the true scale of human exposure to micro- and nanoplastics and to evaluating whether remediation and regulatory efforts are having measurable impact.
