Summary

Identifying the chemical composition of micro- and nanoplastics using techniques such as spectroscopy and chromatography is critical for understanding their environmental fate and toxicological risks. Overcoming current analytical challenges in detecting nanoscale plastic particles remains a key barrier to comprehensive risk assessment.

A wide range of techniques are available for micro(nano)plastics recovery and identification in the marine environment and in soils. The identification of chemical composition of micro(nano)plastics allows for a clear assignment of a sample to a certain...
