- Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are already considered emerging pollutants because they are found in every analyzed waterbody and because they can have adverse effects on human health. Estimating the amount and type of MPs in surface waters is relevant to understand the problem. However, there is still no established methodology for the quantitative and qualitative determination of these pollutants in aquatic environments, and because of this lack of standardization, the comparison between articles becomes complicated. A standard methodology could allow future research to focus on solving the problem. This review presents the advantages and limitations of the different methods for sampling, detection, and characterization of PMs in water and sediments, so that future experimental investigations of microplastics can use the methods presented in the literature in an informed manner.
