Summary
A physical chemistry perspective examined the analytical challenges of measuring environmental nanoplastics, arguing that standard methods often miss or mischaracterize the smallest particles. The paper calls for improved analytical frameworks to better understand nanoplastic behavior and biological risks.
From spectroscopy to mass spectrometry, this review dissects how current techniques detect nanoplastics—and why none alone is enough—proposing practical multimodal workflows and a roadmap for future standardisation.
