Thermal Desorption and Extraction Coupled With Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry for the Quantification of Polystyrene Nanoplastic in Pak Choi
Summary
This methods paper describes a thermal desorption and extraction approach coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for detecting plastic-associated chemicals including plasticizers and flame retardants in environmental samples with high sensitivity.
This study was the first to use a TED-GC/MS method for the detection of PS nanoplastics of different sizes in pak choi and thus provides an important basis for the determination and risk assessment of PS in vegetables.
