Challenges Between Analytics and Degradation/Interactions of Microplastics with Pollutants/Presence of Additives
Summary
Analytical procedures for identifying microplastics are complicated by the interactions between plastic particles and environmental pollutants, as well as the chemical additives embedded in plastic materials. These analytical challenges mean microplastic contamination levels in environmental and biological samples are likely underestimated, underscoring the need for standardized detection protocols.
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...
