Summary

Researchers used micro-FTIR spectroscopy to detect and identify plastic polymers produced by physical, chemical, and biological degradation in various environmental samples. Developing reliable detection methods for degraded micro-polymers is essential for accurately measuring the true extent of microplastic contamination in water and environmental matrices.

Research in micro plastics is a current trend in scientific research in the environmental area, circular economy and water resources. The detection of polymers from different matrices has relevance for the development of methodologies that make it possible to obtain...
