Analysis of Microplastics and Nanoplastics comprehensively overviews the common analytical methods for microplastic and nanoplastic analysis. With a strong focus on sustainability, the book covers the analysis process from sampling, separation/enrichment, observation to identification of polymer composition and a presentation of data.
This book presents the unique features of microplastics and nanoplastics as particle contaminants, their heterogenous distribution in the environments and biota, and the complexity and difficulty of their analysis compared with typical solvent contaminants.
Analysis of Microplastics and Nonoplastics will provide researchers with a solid background to the environmental issues, analytical challenges, and current state-of-the-different available methods for micro and nanoplastics to start or develop research.
