Summary

This commentary discusses the significant analytical challenges involved in detecting and quantifying microplastics in environmental matrices, highlighting issues of contamination, standardization, and the complexity of characterizing a diverse range of plastic fragments and fibers.

Rob Hale considers the significant analytical challenges posed through the use of plastics and the resulting small fragments they yield – microplastics – which are a major contaminant of concern for both human health and ecosystems worldwide.
