Plasmonic-based Raman sensor for ultra-sensitive detection of pharmaceutical waste
Summary
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research; it describes a plasmonic Raman sensor for detecting pharmaceutical contaminants in water and food — the sensor uses surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) but is focused on pharmaceutical waste, not plastic particles.
Pharmaceutical waste and contaminants pose a significant global concern for water and food safety.
