Nanoplastic analysis in soil

The presence of nanoplastics in soil has become an environmental concern. Nanoplastics can affect the physical and chemical properties of soil and be absorbed by plants and animals. There are currently several methods to extract nanoplastics from soil, but they still need to be optimized. Furthermore, their extremely small size and analytical limitations make it difficult. My study focuses on the method development for the extraction nanoplastics from soils.
