Raman Spectroscopic Detection of Silicone Leakage in Human Breast and Lymph Node Tissues
Summary
This paper is not relevant to microplastics; it uses Raman spectroscopy to detect silicone leakage from ruptured breast implants in human tissue samples.
Raman spectroscopy was utilized to study surgical excision specimens of human breast and lymph node tissues from patients with leaking silicone bag-gel breast implants. This may offer a simple and effective method of detection to evaluate tissues.

Raman Microspectroscopy Detection and Characterisation of Microplastics in Human Breastmilk
Researchers used Raman spectroscopy to detect and characterize microplastics in human breast milk samples for the first time. They found microplastic particles in the samples, confirming that nursing infants can be exposed to microplastics through breastfeeding. This pilot study highlights the need for larger investigations into how microplastics in breast milk might affect infant health during a critical period of development.

Raman microspectroscopy and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for the analysis of polyethylene microplastics in human soft tissues
Researchers developed a combined technique using Raman microspectroscopy and laser-based analysis to detect polyethylene microplastics in human soft tissue samples. The method can identify both the plastic polymer and any associated inorganic elements in tissue. This kind of detection tool is important for understanding whether microplastics accumulate in specific human organs and what health effects they might have.
