Abstract Microplastics are small (< 5 mm) synthetic polymers that a contaminant of emerging concern and can be difficult to identify due their diversity in size, shape composition. The hot needle test, or point helps researchers suspected microplastics under optical microscopy by probing physical melt deformation behavior, is low-cost practical method for widespread use. However, our knowledge the accuracy this test has not been fully evaluated. We noted articles commonly referenced do...
