samplingof thedifferentcompartments,areakeyfactorformeaningful results.The
quantitation of microplastics differs due to the individual sampling method and
studies still lacking in comparability. Therefore, future studies should integrate
additional units to describemicroplastic occurrence in their investigations.More-
over,an integral stepof future investigationsshouldbeasufficientvalidationof the
microplasticanalysis, asdifferent technologicalapproachesmightbeusedorfuture
technological improvements will be implemented for the determination of
microplastics. Important approaches, such as Raman-, FTIR-, and GC/MS-based
techniques, seemtobeveryversatile for thedetectionofmicroplastics, but abetter
comparability of results obtained with either of these methods needs to be
established.Degradation of larger plasticswill result in a constant source for new
microplastic particles of all size classes, and thus, as it is a slow process,
microplasticswill be a relevant long-term threat.
