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. It 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 and will provide researchers with a solid background on environmental issues, analytical challenges, and current state-of-the-different available methods for micro and nanoplastics to start/develop research. Comprehensively discusses the common analytical methods of microplastics and nanoplastics, providing basic fundamental knowledge of this hot topicPresents the new advances in this growing fieldProvides rich resources including digital database, providing a tool book for the readers INDICE: Part One Microplastic and nanoplastic as emerging contaminants1.
