First application of automated static particle analysis for quantification of textile microplastics/microfibers in washing effluents
• First use of automated particle analysis to quantify textile microplastics. • Minimized operator bias in microfiber quantification. • Improved speed and sensitivity with respect to traditional quantification methods. • Supports environmental monitoring and microplastic regulation efforts. • A step toward standardized microfiber monitoring protocols.
