A Resilient In Situ Raman-Based Framework for Identifying Thermally Aged Microplastics: Validation in Waste-to-Energy Incineration
Summary
Researchers developed a Raman spectroscopy framework to identify thermally aged microplastics and validated it in waste-to-energy incineration emissions, detecting atmospheric microplastics with a median particle length of 9.0 µm and highlighting incineration as an underappreciated source of airborne plastic pollution.
atmospheric MPs annually, with a median particle length of 9.0 μm, highlighting potential environmental and inhalation risks. Our study provides a robust framework for identifying aged MPs and underscores the need to address incineration-derived MP pollution.
