Summary

This review examines the analytical challenges of detecting and characterising nanoplastics in environmental samples, presenting the state of the art in size determination, chemical composition analysis, and quantification techniques, as well as a survey of nanoplastic model materials used in the literature.

Risk assessment and risk management are supported by reliable data concerning nanoplastic exposure. This chapter aims to present the state of the art of the current techniques available for the size determination, chemical composition and quantification of nanoplastics, as well as the emerging methods for their analysis. The different nanoplastic model materials found in the literature will be presented in the first part of this chapter.
