Summary

This editorial review examines the analytical challenges and hidden complexities of using pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for quantifying micro- and nanoplastics in environmental samples. The authors discuss sources of measurement uncertainty, matrix interference, and the limitations of current standardization approaches that complicate accurate nanoplastic quantification by this technique.
