Article Synopsis
  • The extensive use of plastics has made them integral to modern society due to their versatility and cost-effectiveness, but this has resulted in environmental issues related to the proliferation of microplastics (MPs).
  • MPs, originating from sources like textile fibers and cosmetics, are concerning because they can accumulate in the food chain and pose risks to human health.
  • The review discusses various analytical techniques for detecting MPs and emphasizes the need for standardized methods to improve identification and quantification while addressing the ongoing challenges in studying microplastics in the environment and food sources.
