Challenges Between Analytics and Degradation/Interactions of Microplastics with Pollutants/Presence of Additives
Summary
The analytical characterization of microplastics is complicated by their interactions with environmental and biological matrices, the degradation of plastic surfaces over time, and the presence of chemical additives that alter spectroscopic signatures. Developing standardized analytical procedures that account for these confounding factors is essential for producing reliable, comparable data on microplastic contamination levels.
In the search for establishing well-founded analytical procedures for identification of microplastics (MPs), this chapter focuses on the effect on analytics of the interaction of MPs present in environmental or biological compartments with their media and the fact...
