OVERVIEW OF PRETREATMENT METHOD FOR MICROPLASTIC ANALYSIS PROCESS

Abstract

Nowaday, microplastic pollution is an emerging problem in the field of environmental protection, so
the construction and standardization of processes for analyzing the presence of microplastics in
environmental components such as soil, water, aiborne and biota are necessary. The pretreatment step
of analysing microplastics process in order to eliminate the presence and effect of inorganic and
organic substances on the analysis results and separate the microplastics based on the density
difference. This article will focus on briefly introducing sample processing methods in microplastic
analysis to provide reference information for microplastic analysis studies in Vietnam.
