Summary

This review evaluates spatial imaging techniques at micro- and nanoscales — including Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, and electron microscopy — for identifying and characterizing microplastics in environmental samples. Advancing detection and characterization methods is foundational to understanding microplastic bioavailability and their capacity to adsorb toxic chemicals that harm living organisms.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastic pollution is a global problem in recent decades due to their ubiquity in the oceans, sediment, soil, or wastewater. The bioavailability and adsorbability for toxic chemicals of MPs have detrimental effects upon living organisms. This work attempts to...
