The detection of microplastics (MPs) in drinking water presents significant environmental and public health challenges. This study comprises two stages: a meta-analysis aimed at standardizing Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) methods for MP detection, followed by the practical implementation of these findings in the laboratory. The review of studies conducted from 2019 to 2023 identifies 0.45 μm cellulose nitrate filters and Nile red staining as the most effective techniques for fluorescent detection. Experimental results demonstrate the superior retention capabilities of cellulose nitrate filters and the uniformity of Nile red staining. This dual approach not only optimizes water treatment processes but also enhances the accuracy of MP detection. The findings contribute to improved water quality management and public health protection by establishing robust protocols for MP analysis. Full article
