Summary

Significant gaps remain in understanding how microplastics distribute and move through the environment, largely because reliable, fast analytical methods for monitoring them are still lacking. Developing standardized detection techniques is essential for generating the consistent data needed to assess true exposure levels and health risks across different ecosystems.

Beside several studies about the occurrence of microplastic (MP) there is still a huge gap of knowledge regarding the dynamic processes of MP distribution and fate. Consequently, there is a need for reliable, fast, and robust analytical methods for MP monitoring....
