Analytical approaches for quantifying and characterizing microplastics: Environmental impacts and bioaccumulation in aquatic Systems
AI summary Read the abstract
This review pulls together current science on how researchers detect and measure microplastics in water, soil, air, and living creatures, comparing tools like infrared light scanning and mass spectrometry to see what works best. The takeaway: microplastics build up in aquatic animals and are linked to hormone disruption and cell damage, which matters since these same particles can end up in the seafood we eat. The authors also point to newer, more eco-friendly testing methods that could help scientists track and manage this pollution more effectively going forward.
