Spectroscopic Detection of Microplastics from Paper and Plastic Cups Using Ftir
Summary
Researchers used FTIR spectroscopy to detect and characterize microplastics released from disposable paper and plastic cups, confirming that these common single-use items leach plastic particles into beverages and represent a significant but underappreciated human exposure route.
Microplastics have been established as a major environmental and health concern due to their widespread distribution in ecosystems and potential hazards for human health. This paper discusses the release of microplastics from disposable paper cups, which are commonly...
