  Streamlined and Standardized Processes to Analyze Microplastics in Water

  Microplastic is a contaminant of emerging concern. Its occurrence, fate, and transport in water are not well understood due to the limitation of testing procedures that are time-consuming and not standardized. This research addresses the current need of establishing a streamlined and standardized procedure to better identify microplastics in water.
