Summary
Researchers developed a microfluidic device using light to detect plastic microspheres in water droplets, offering a new tool for identifying microplastic contamination in aquatic environments.
Identifying microplastics is a key step to reduce their impact on the ecosystems as serious pollution source. We propose an opto-microfluidic device able to detect the presence of plastic microspheres when dispersed in water droplets.
