Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Soil Science

Background:

  • Microplastics (MPs) are accumulating in soils globally.
  • MPs present environmental risks due to toxicity and pollutant transport.
  • Accurate monitoring of MPs in soil is crucial but challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and compare methods for microplastic analysis in soil.
  • To identify challenges and limitations in current MP extraction, identification, and quantification techniques.
  • To propose a framework for more accurate and reproducible MP analysis in soils.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative review of existing literature on MP analysis in solid matrices.
  • Analysis of challenges including soil heterogeneity, organic matter interactions, and small MP detection.
  • Evaluation of digestion, filtration, and sample size impacts on MP analysis.

Main Results:

  • Soil's complex matrix and organic matter interactions pose significant challenges for MP separation.
  • Detection limitations for smaller microplastics hinder accurate quantification.
  • Harsh digestion methods can degrade MPs, affecting analysis reliability.

Conclusions:

  • Standardizing MP analysis requires minimizing accuracy-reducing steps like harsh digestion and filtration.
  • Combining or adjusting methods can enhance the precision of MP analysis.
  • Developing a holistic framework for MP analysis will improve environmental monitoring and research.
