Why monitor Microplastics

  • Regulators in the UK do not currently monitor rivers systematically for microplastics (House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee, 2022).
  • Legislation e.g. REACH restriction on intentionally added microplastics (EC 1907/2006) explicitly target microplastic pollution.
  • The ability to monitor microplastic contamination in particular environments or hotspots of concern is one mechanism through which the success of such legislation may be measured.
