Summary

Current analytical methodologies for detecting and quantifying microplastics suffer from significant methodological limitations that hinder accurate prevalence assessments across environmental compartments. Improved standardization of sampling protocols and analytical techniques is urgently needed to generate reliable data for regulatory and health risk frameworks.

Ubiquitous and highly pervasive microplastics have been found in all compartments of the environment. However, correctly assessing their prevalence is greatly hampered by the current methodological and technical limitations, as well as data reporting and analysis....
