摘要
The method of quantitation of microplastic particles as described in the paper by M. Brits, M.J.M. van Velzen, F.Ö Sefiloglu, L. Scibetta, Q. Groenewoud, J.J. Garcia-Vallejo, A.D. Vethaak, S.H. Brandsma, M.H. Lamoree. Quantitation of Micro and Nanoplastics in Human Blood by Pyrolysis–Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry: a follow-up study. Microplastics and Nanoplastics (2024) 4:12, https://doi.org/10.1186/s43591-024-00090-w, is an encouraging development in this field of analysis. There are, however, some issues regarding specificity, sensitivity and reliability of the method, which need to be addressed before this method could be accepted more widely by the research community.
