Summary
Reflectance-FTIR spectroscopy was evaluated as a faster and more automated detection method for microplastics in environmental samples, with results showing strong potential for high-throughput screening. The method could reduce the time and cost of routine microplastic monitoring programs.
Reflectance-FTIR spectroscopy provides opportunities for faster, more automated, and cheaper detection of microplastics in the environment.
