Analysis of Microplastics and Nanoplastics comprehensively overviews the common analytical methods for microplastic and nanoplastic analysis. With a strong focus on sustainability, the book covers the analysis process from sampling, separation/enrichment, observation to identification of polymer composition and a presentation of data.

This book presents the unique features of microplastics and nanoplastics as particle contaminants, their heterogenous distribution in the environments and biota, and the complexity and difficulty of their analysis compared with typical solvent contaminants.

Analysis of Microplastics and Nonoplastics will provide researchers with a solid background to the environmental issues, analytical challenges, and current state-of-the-different available methods for micro and nanoplastics to start or develop research.

Huahong Shi got his PhD degree from Jinan University, China in 2003. Now he is a full-time professor of environmental sciences at East China Normal University. He is an associate editor of Environmental Science & Technology and Environmental Science & Technology Letters. In the past 10 years, he has been focusing on microplastic and nanoplastic pollution, including analytical methods, fate, toxicological effects, and risks to human health. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers on microplastic and nanoplastic research. He was recognized as the Highly Cited Researchers (HCRs) during 2020–23. Chengjun Sun received her PhD degree from University of California at Santa Barbara, United States, in 2001. She is currently a senior research scientist at the First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, China. She serves as an associate editor for Marine Pollution Bulletin and an editorial board member for Journal of Marine Science and Engineering. Dr. Sun and her group have worked on microplastic pollution investigation in coastal waters, open oceans, and the polar regions with a focus on microplastic sampling and identification methods in the seawater, sediment, biota, and air, with the goal of understanding the microplastic pollution level in the world’s oceans and assessing their potential impact. She has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers, including over 30 papers on microplastics.
