Microplastics (MPs, in situ multimodal analysis. By transcending traditional instrument-based classifications, this framework enables meaningful cross-method comparisons under shared analytical objectives and underscores a broader transition in the field toward multimodal integration, advanced data analytics, and in situ characterization. We synthesize the strengths of emerging analytical strategies, propose quantitative performance benchmarks, and provide guidance for their effective translation into real-world environmental monitoring.
