Protokol HW1-TP UNIKA: Metode Deteksi dan Identifikasi Mikroplastik dengan ATR-FTIR Mikroskopi pada Sampel Hasil Laut
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a standardized laboratory protocol (HW1-TP UNIKA) for detecting and identifying microplastics in seafood using ATR-FTIR microscopy, providing detailed extraction, isolation, and polymer identification procedures tailored to the challenges of analyzing microplastics within complex biological food matrices.
Salah satu ranah penelitian mikroplastikyang tengah berkembang pesatadalah kajian keamanan pangan. Dalam kajian keamanan pangan mikroplastik, metode ekstraksi dan isolasi partikel mikroplastik menempati posisi yang krusial. Partikel mikroplastik yang menempel atau bahkan berada dalam bahan pangan yang notabene adalah jaringan hewan atau tumbuhan tentusaja memerlukan perlakuan khusus. Buku kecil ini memuat secara lengkap namun lugas sebuah protokol tentang deteksi dan identifikasi mikroplastik hingga ke jenis polimernya

Characterization of Microplastics in the Sediment of Prapratno Beach
AI summary Read the abstract
This Croatian-language study characterized microplastics in beach sediment from Prapratno beach on the Peljesac peninsula, finding the sample was dominated by polyethylene with smaller amounts of polystyrene and polypropylene. The study used the DeFishGear protocol for standardized sampling and FTIR for polymer identification.
Effectiveness of Atr-ftir for Analysis of Microplastics from Marine and Freshwater Sediments
AI summary Read the abstract
ATR-FTIR spectroscopy successfully identified pre-production microplastic pellets (nurdles) from both marine and freshwater sediment samples, with 96.5% composed of polyethylene and 3.5% polypropylene across 416 collected specimens. Effective analytical methods like this are essential for quantifying the estimated 230,000 metric tons of nurdles released annually into oceans, particles small enough to be ingested by marine life and enter the food chain.
