Summary

Despite microplastics being found across all environmental spheres, their true prevalence and distribution pathways remain poorly understood due to a lack of standardized sampling and analytical methods. Developing harmonized collection and separation protocols is essential for generating comparable data that can inform regulatory and remediation efforts.

Highly ubiquitous, microplastics are found throughout all spheres of the environment. However, their exact prevalence and mechanisms of distribution remain largely unknown and inaccurate, as standardized sampling and monitoring methods are needed. Multiple methods...
