High-throughput NIR spectroscopic (NIRS) detection of microplastics in soil
AI summary Read the abstract
High-throughput near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was evaluated for detecting and quantifying microplastics in soil samples, finding that it could rapidly identify multiple polymer types without time-consuming sample preparation. The method offers potential for scaling up microplastic monitoring in terrestrial environments where conventional analytical methods are too slow for large sample numbers.

Soil Microplastics Spectrum Based on Visible Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a visible near-infrared spectroscopy method for quantifying microplastics in soil, finding that spectral reflectance decreases with increasing microplastic content and that a regression model combining normalisation with first-derivative transformation achieved the best predictive accuracy with R-squared values of 0.75 and 0.77 for calibration and validation sets.
