Toward standardized microplastics monitoring in rivers
Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic fragments smaller than 5 mm, have become so pervasive that they are detectable in nearly every environment studied—from remote ocean trenches to urban air, tap water, and human blood. MPs are hardly uniform; they span an enormous size range. Larger fragments are visible to the naked eye, while the smallest ones have a diameter of a few micrometers. These variations in size are important, as smaller particl…
