Summary
Researchers applied Raman imaging spectroscopy to analyze microplastics in the Choqueyapu River in La Paz, Bolivia, demonstrating the method's capacity to identify plastic types and spatial distribution in a heavily urbanized South American river system. This advances monitoring capabilities in regions that have historically lacked infrastructure for detailed plastic pollution assessments.
