Microplastics are pollutants formed from fragmented plastics and also industrially manufactured for personal care cosmetic products. They range 1 µm to 5 mm ubiquitous in the environment due their tiny size, lightweight, wide applications. Ecotoxicological studies have shown that they can induce multiple harmful effects on exposed organisms humans. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) drawn interest of researchers regulatory bodies worldwide as a point source microplastics discharge environment. In absence standardized methodology, microplastic monitoring WWTPs has been marked by distinct variations sample processing analytical procedures which limit comparison results. This review provides detailed analysis methods patterns, analytical, size characterization, quantification WWTPs. According procedural steps extraction reported reviewed studies, 12 patterns three categories approaches (single, dual, multiple) were identified. quantified using gravimetry method, mass sub-sample method (based extrapolation) with latter being most applied technique. Microplastic characterization accomplished two main methods: sieve-based technique computing-based
