“…Microplastic accounted for 92 % of the neustonic plastics collected on the surface of the SE BoB, in line with the findings for the BoB southern waters ( Carretero et al, 2022 ; Gago et al, 2015 ). Regarding the type of items, a large proportion of microplastics were plastic fragments (69.9 %), consistent with previous studies published for other European regions ( Adamopoulou et al, 2021 ; Faure et al, 2015 ; Maes et al, 2017 ).…”

“…In addition, there are huge economic losses for marinerelated sectors (Abalansa et al, 2020). The spatio-temporal monitoring of microplastics is difficult (Li et al, 2020;Carretero et al, 2022). Therefore, prevention is the first action required, focusing on the study of macroplastics in rivers and coasts in their initial state (Rangel-Buitrago et al, 2020).…”

The increasing demand for single‐use plastic‐based products worldwide has generated immense waste during the last decade. This review aims to summarize the current developments of surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for detecting micro‐ and nanoplastics in a variety of samples and environments. Despite the SERS technique being very recent for this purpose, its robustness has already been discussed in a few analyses focused on well‐known pollutants such as phthalates, plasticizers, and xenobiotic contaminants from commercially available water bottles. Here, the latest advances, obstacles, and perspectives are reviewed using SERS detection as a robust alternative for analyzing complex samples containing nanoplastic particles present in daily consumer products such as wine and vegetables. Moreover, this paper describes different SERS substrates developed to overcome the limitations for identifying polymer particles at low concentrations. Factors contributing to the sensitivity of SERS substrates are discussed to show the advantages and limitations of this technique. The broader role of SERS as a tool in environmental research is currently explored from polluted air and aquatic environments, which can be relevant for other fields, such as clinical monitoring and nanotoxicology.
