Plastic, a ubiquitous and versatile material, has seen exponential production since 1950, resulting in an alarming 9 billion metric tonnes of plastic waste. Inadequate disposal and recycling have led to environmental contamination, with microplastics infiltrating our land, water, and air. Research has unveiled the toxicological risks microplastics pose to both human health and wildlife. Eurofins Environment Testing, in 2019, pioneered Australia's first commercial laboratory for microplastic analysis using advanced Laser Direct Infrared technology. Their rigorous protocols, plastic-free lab environment, and ILAC/NATA ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation mark a significant stride in microplastics research.
