Abstract

Microplastics and nanoplastics are a new type of emerging pollutant that appears in the environment. The difference between those two is based on the particle size. The studies about microplastics and nanoplastics have recently increased because of the growing social awareness and because of the biological effects they provoke. To clarify these effects, proper sampling and identification methods are required. The lack of standard methods up to now makes the studies and the comparisons hard. This chapter provides an overview of the main existing methods of sampling, sample preparation, and the identification of debris comprising of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in nature. In conclusion, the methods used for these purposes depend on the type of material, the size, and the matrix in which the polymer is involved.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-26:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 21.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 21 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 5.

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://oa.upm.es/95380/

As a result of the publication of the work in the institutional repository, statistical usage data has been obtained that reflects its impact. In terms of dissemination, we can state that, as of
