Research progress on analytical methods for microplastics in the environment
Microplastics are plastic fragments or particles with a size smaller than 5 mm,which can migrate and enrich in the atmosphere,soil and water bodies,and then accumulate through the food chain,posing a serious health risk to humans.For the purpose of assessment of the microplastic pollution in the environment,this paper presents a detailed review of the current application of microplastic detection methods and technological tools,i.e.,photomicrography,scanning electron microscopy,spectrometer,thermal and mass spectrometry,and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of each method.Summarized new methods and techniques for microplastics detection in recent years and discussed current technical challenges and future research directions for microplastics detection.The establishment of unified and microplastics standardized microplastics analytical methods is prospected and the possible guidance for the systematic and further evaluation and risk assessment of microplastic is provided.
