Micro-transflectance infrared spectroscopy was demonstrated as a method to characterize tyre-based microplastics down to 20 µm, with traditional attenuated total reflectance suitable for larger particles, providing new analytical pathways for monitoring this important emerging contaminant.
The study presents first time the use of micro transflectance IR to study tyre particles down to 20 µm. Traditional total attenuated reflectance is demonstrated as a suitable way to analyse bigger microplastics. These two options open pathways to monitor this important emerging contaminant in environmental matrices.
