WEBThis guide is aimed at helping you recognise microplastics of interest under the microscope. Foreword. Every analytical and scientific method has limitations. In recognising microplastics using this method, the major limitations you will encounter are of two types: instrumental and interpretative.
WEBMany studies on microplastics have centered on contamination in marine environments and related areas (sea salt, seafood, and aquatic animals) they also appear in tap water and even in commercial products such as bottled water and other beverages.
