Summary

Researchers from an Italian national working group assessed microplastic contamination in drinking water, reviewing the complex toxicological profile of these heterogeneous particles and evaluating standardized analytical methods for detecting and quantifying microplastics across different water sources.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics are “emerging” heterogeneous contaminants with a complex toxicological profile. Extremely widespread in different water bodies, microplastics have been studied for some time due to the possible effects on human and animal health.
