Abstract: Microplastics is a class of new global environmental pollutant. Researchers have paid great attention to the impact of microplastics on the environment and the food chain. It is difficult to precisely detect microplastics in environment due to its special physi-chemical structure, but the reliable determination methods are critical for environmental behavior research of microplastics. This review summarizes research progress of environmental microplastics from the perspective of research background, pretreatment and detection methods. The advantages and disadvantages of different methods have also been analyzed. The future researches on microplastics detection techniques are proposed to provide reference for the environmental microplastics research in the future.

Key words: microplastics, environment, pretreatment, detection method
