Summary
Researchers compared two advanced chemical identification techniques — FTIR and Raman microspectroscopy — for detecting microplastics in drinking water, helping establish which method is more reliable for routine water quality monitoring and public health protection.
Study Type
Environmental
Fourier-Transform InfraRed micro-spectroscopy (µFTIR) was applied to the microplastic (MP) analysis of drinking water samples taken from the inlet and outlet of a groundwater-fed waterworks located in Denmark. The outcome of the µFTIR analysis was then...
