The importance of certified reference materials for detecting plastic particles
Microplastics (or plastic particles) are small fragments of plastic less than 5 mm in size. They are ubiquitous in the environment and represent a major concern for human and environmental health. For this reason, it is essential to have standardized analytical methods to understand and mitigate their effects, which requires certified reference materials (CRMs). CRMs make it possible to:
- Calibrate analytical equipment: To ensure accurate identification and quantification of microplastics.
- Ensuring the quality of analyses: By improving the reproducibility and comparability of results between laboratories.
- Developing analytical methods: Certified standards help researchers to validate and improve analytical protocols for identifying different types of microplastics.
