Microplastics Testing in Food

Microplastics (<5 mm synthetic polymer particles) are increasingly detected in aquatic systems and seafood products. These particles may interact with other contaminants, influencing environmental transport and bioavailability.

SGS supports microplastic analysis in:

  • Seafood tissue
  • Surface and groundwater
  • Sediment and soil
  • Wastewater treatment compartments

Services support environmental monitoring, occurrence studies, and risk evaluation.
