Summary

Raman microscopy enables reliable identification and quantification of microplastics in environmental samples, with smaller particles posing greater ecological risk due to their higher numbers and broader species exposure. Standardizing this analytical technique is essential for producing comparable data across studies and informing effective pollution monitoring.

Identification and quantification of microplastics in the environment is increasingly important. With decreasing particle size, microplastic numbers and therewith the number of species potentially affected by microplastics rise. However, data on the occurrence of...
