Summary

Researchers critically reviewed methods for separating, identifying, quantifying, and removing microplastics from environmental samples, highlighting persistent challenges in standardizing analytical protocols and calling for improved techniques to better characterize human health risks from ingested particles.

Microplastics in environmental samples, understanding their fate and transport through the body following ingestion and its potential risks to human health is an important focus of future research. Due to their high specific surface area for the sorption of organic...
