Assessment of Microplastics from Surface Water Bodies: Challenges and Future Scopes
AI summary Read the abstract
"This review assessed various analytical techniques for detecting microplastics in Indian surface water bodies—including visual sorting, spectroscopy, and microscopy—finding that no single method is fully adequate and that standardized protocols are urgently needed. Reliable detection methods are a prerequisite for accurate exposure assessments, since underestimating microplastic concentrations in rivers and lakes directly leads to underestimating human health risks from drinking water and freshwater fish consumption."
