    Microplastics (plastic particles 5 mm to 1 \u00b5m \u2013 ISO 24187:2023) are ubiquitous in the environment. They can be: primary: intentionally manufacturedat this size, secondary: formed through the fragmentation of plastic objects <\/span>Found in all types of environments and living organisms, microplastics are now recognized as persistent pollutants<\/b> of growing concern.<\/p>
