Detection and Identification of Microplastics in Food and the Environment
摘要
Microplastic contamination is a relevant topic in Food and Environmental Sciences. Microplastic analyses in matrices such as food, soil, sediment, water, and air require a specific method approach according to their respective aims and scope. This chapter presents a comprehensive discussion about standard practices currently applied to ensure representative sampling, adequate sample preparation, and unequivocal identification and characterization of microplastic particles.
