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

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 …

Despite a substantial body of research to date for the detection of microplastics (MPs) in
almost every environmental compartment there remains a lack of standardisation, and …

Research on microplastics in soils is still uncommon, and the existing publications are often
incomparable due to the use of different sampling, processing, and analytical methods …

Microplastics are a widespread contaminant found not only in various natural habitats but
also in drinking waters. With spectroscopic methods, the polymer type, number, size, and …

As emerging contaminants, microplastics and nanoplastics pose analytical challenges to the
scientific community due to the small size, diverse composition and complex environmental …

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 …

Microplastic (MP) appears to be omnipresent in the atmosphere, raising concerns about
dispersion across environmental compartments, ecological consequences and human …

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 …

As the abundance of microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) increases in the
environment, their presence in agricultural soil has become of interest. MPs/NPs can affect …
