Summary
This study developed and validated a pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry protocol for quantifying common microplastic polymer types in complex environmental matrices, providing a reliable thermal analysis method for assessing microplastic pollution.
Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is an effective technique for assessing microplastic pollution. Here we present the development of a protocol to determine the amount of some common microplastics in complex environmental samples.
