Microplastics and nanoplastics have become emerging particulate anthropogenic pollutants
and rapidly turned into a field of growing scientific and public interest. These tiny plastic …

Microplastic pollution is a recently discovered threat to ecosystems requiring the
development of new analytical methods. Here, we review classical and advanced methods …

Microplastic pollution research has suffered from inadequate data and tools for spectral
(Raman and infrared) classification. Spectral matching tools often are not accurate for …

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic
(MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the …

Microplastics are of major concerns for society and is currently in the focus of legislators and
administrations. A small number of measures to reduce or remove primary sources of …

The identification of microplastics becomes increasingly challenging with decreasing
particle size and increasing sample heterogeneity. The analysis of microplastic samples by …

Abstract Analysis of microplastics (MP) in environmental samples is an emerging field, which
is performed with various methods and instruments based either on spectroscopy or …

Microplastics in agricultural soils have become the research hotspot in recent years,
however, the quantitative methods based on the traditional visual inspection may have a …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution has become a global environmental concern. MPs alone and
in combination with pollutants can potentially cause significant harm to organisms and …

Nanoplastics are emerging environmental contaminants, but their presence in
environmental and potable water remains largely understudied due to the absence of …
