Analytical Methods for Microplastics in Environments: Current Advances and Challenges
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review the state of the art in analytical methods for detecting and quantifying microplastics across environmental samples, highlighting recent advances alongside persistent technical challenges that limit our ability to accurately assess exposure levels and ecological risk.
Numerous studies have shown the presence of microplastics (MPs) in the environment. As an emerging global contaminant, the concentrations of MPs need to be evaluated, to assess its impacts on ecosystems and humans. This chapter reviews the development of analytical...
