• Microplastics in commercial bivalves from China. (2015, background): “On the other hand, our study further confirms the importance of conducting elemental analysis or chemical analysis of microplastics to avoid misidentification (Eriksen et al., 2013; Song et al., 2015).”
• Microplastics and mesoplastics in fish from coastal and fresh waters of China. (2017, background): “Currently, it is urgent to develop a uniform and effectivemethod for isolation and identification of microplastics from biotic samples, including fish (Song et al., 2015).”
• Synthetic fibers in atmospheric fallout: A source of microplastics in the environment? (2016, background): “Only fibers made of petrochemicals are generally considered in the literature as microplastics (Song et al., 2015).”
• Microplastics in mussels along the coastal waters of China. (2016, background): “In addition, the ambiguous characteristics of non-plastics and plastics make it difficult to accurately identify microplastics (Song et al., 2015).”
• Microplastics in the surface sediments from the Beijiang River littoral zone: Composition, abundance, surface textures and interaction with heavy metals. (2017, methodology): “Besides, some particles in the environment were not completely identified by m-FTIR, which was an ideal means of polymer identification for micro-particles (Song et al., 2015), and was widely used (Frias et al.”
• Quantification of microplastic mass and removal rates at wastewater treatment plants applying Focal Plane Array (FPA)-based Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) imaging. (2018, methodology): “Since determining the material of such small particles with visual inspection is highly uncertain (L€oder et al., 2015; Song et al., 2015), an FT-IR imaging technique was applied to identify the chemical composition of the examined particles.”
• Microplastics in the aquatic and terrestrial environment: sources (with a specific focus on personal care products), fate and effects (2016, methodology): “1–2 µm [26, 30, 42]).”
