Plastic pollution is a defining environmental contaminant and considered to be one of the greatest threats Anthropocene, with its presence documented across aquatic terrestrial ecosystems. The majority this plastic debris falls into micro (1 μm–5 mm) or nano (1–1000 nm) size range comes from primary secondary sources. Its small makes it cumbersome isolate analyze reproducibly, ubiquitous distribution creates numerous challenges when controlling for background contamination matrices (e.g.,...
