Improving microplastics source apportionment: a role for microplastic morphology and taxonomy?
Summary
Researchers argue that more detailed morphological classification of microplastics — beyond broad size and shape categories — is needed to accurately attribute microplastic pollution to specific sources and to enable effective management and monitoring programs.
Paul Helm discusses the need for a more detailed level of classification to aid in identifying source contributions of microplastics, providing direction on the implementation of management activities to reduce the occurrence of microplastics in the environment and enabling monitoring of the effectiveness of those actions.
