Summary

This study used an automated sample preparation device combined with pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (pyrolysis-GC/MS) to analyze microplastics in river water, streamlining what is typically a labor-intensive process. Automating microplastic analysis is important for increasing the volume and consistency of environmental monitoring data needed to track pollution trends and inform policy.
