Identification and analysis of microplastics: a systematic review of methods and techniques
AI summary Read the abstract
This systematic review of 180 microplastics studies found that µFTIR, µRaman, and pyrolysis-GC/MS are the dominant identification methods, with zinc chloride and hydrogen peroxide the most common chemicals for density separation and organic matter digestion respectively. Methodological variation across studies limits result comparability, and the review recommends standardizing reporting by identification method and carefully matching density separation solutions to target polymer densities.
Methods in Microplastics Extraction and Identification
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers evaluate methods for extracting and identifying microplastics from food items consumed by humans, addressing the analytical challenges of detecting these contaminants of emerging concern across a wide range of food matrices.
Methods and Techniques for Microplastic Detection and Identification in Water and Wastewater—A Methodology Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review analytical methods and techniques for detecting and identifying microplastics in water and wastewater, addressing how contamination of this critical resource threatens food supply safety and human health through both point-source and diffuse pollution pathways.
Microplastics—A Review of Sources, Separation, Analysis and Removal Strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
A comprehensive review of microplastic sources, analytical separation techniques, and removal strategies found that plastics enter both aquatic and terrestrial environments through diverse pathways, with no single removal approach currently capable of addressing the full scope of contamination. Developing integrated detection-to-removal pipelines is essential for reducing the environmental load and limiting ongoing human and wildlife exposure.
