Summary

This review summarizes physical, chemical, and biological methods used to detect microplastics in environmental samples, comparing the advantages and limitations of each approach. Improving detection methods is essential for generating reliable data to support environmental protection strategies against microplastic pollution.

Microplastics are plastic particles or fibers with a diameter of less than 5 mm, and they widely exist in the environment and pose potential risks to the ecosystem and human health. Microplastics detection can provide basic data for formulating effective environmental protection strategies. In this paper, the physical, chemical and biological detection methods of microplastics are reviewed, and the advantages and disadvantages of different methods are analyzed. The problems and challenges encountered in microplastics detection are analyzed, and the future research is discussed.
