Summary

Sampling, detecting, and characterizing micro- and nanoplastics in natural water bodies presents significant technical challenges that limit our understanding of their environmental hazards. Improved standardized methods for measuring these particles are critical to accurately assessing contamination levels and human exposure risks.

Sampling, separation, detection, and characterization of micro- and nanoplastics dispersed in natural water bodies and other ecosystems is a challenging and critical issue for a better understanding of the hazards for the environment posed by such...
