Inter-equipment reliable identification of microplastics by micro-FTIR using low computational resources

Bettencourt da Silva, Ricardo, Fernandes, Rafaela

Summary

Researchers developed a low-computational-resource method for reliable microplastic identification by micro-FTIR spectroscopy that performs consistently across different instruments. The approach, funded under the EU PlasticTrace metrology project, addresses inter-equipment variability — a major barrier to harmonized microplastic monitoring — enabling more comparable results across laboratories.

This research is funded by the project 21GRD07 PlasticTrace. This project has received funding from the European Partnership on Metrology, co-financed from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme and by the Participating States. Funder name: European Partnership on Metrology• Funder ID: 10.13039/100019599• Grant number: 21GRD07 PlasticTrace
