Optical System for In-situ Detection of Microplastics

2024
Geoffrey Campman, Miranda van Iersel

Summary

Researchers developed a portable optical system capable of detecting, identifying, continuously monitoring, and quantifying microplastics in situ at natural water bodies. The system uses optical techniques to observe the temporal behavior of microplastic concentrations at fixed locations, enabling real-time environmental monitoring without sample collection and laboratory processing.

A portable optical system to detect, identify, continuously monitor, and quantify microplastics is developed. The system uses optical techniques to observe the temporal behavior of the amount of microplastics present at a certain location of a natural water body.
