Summary

This study evaluated micro-Raman spectroscopy as an analytical tool for detecting and characterizing microplastics in drinking water, examining both its capabilities and practical limitations for routine water quality monitoring. Given that microplastics are now found throughout water treatment chains, establishing reliable detection methods is a critical step toward understanding human ingestion exposure from tap and bottled water.

Study Type Environmental

Drinking water is the result of a chain of treatments aimed at purifying the water source from normed pollutants. However, thanks to the increasing analytical power of the available techniques, more pollutants of concern are being discovered both in the water source...
