Application of raman micro-spectroscopy for quantitative microplastics analysis

Photoniques 2024
Alina Maltseva

Summary

This review examines the application of Raman microspectroscopy for quantitative microplastic analysis, emphasizing the technique's ability to detect particles down to 1 micron - the smallest size range posing the highest environmental and health risk. The authors highlight Raman microspectroscopy's advantages over other methods for measuring microplastic concentrations across diverse environmental matrices.

Microplastics pollution poses a significant environmental threat, highlighting the need for effective quantification methods across various matrices. This article provides an overview of measuring microplastic concentrations and emphasizes the importance of Raman microspectroscopy. Capable of detecting microplastics down to 1 micron, this technique targets the smallest particles that present the highest risk.
