Summary
This commentary argued that advancing microplastic science requires embracing the complexity of these pollutants rather than relying on narrow experimental models and inconsistent methods. The authors called for standardized methodologies and research designs that account for environmental context and global change interactions.
Environmental cycling of microplastics and nanoplastics is complex; fully understanding these pollutants is hindered by inconsistent methodologies and experimentation within a narrow scope. Consistent methods are needed to advance plastic research and policy within the context of global environmental change.
