Summary

This PhD research project developed analytical protocols using Raman spectroscopy and pyrolysis-GC/MS to quantify microplastics and nanoplastics in the clam Chamelea gallina, enabling a preliminary assessment of human dietary exposure from consuming this commercially important mollusc.

Human

This PhD thesis research project aims to develop analytical protocols for the determination of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in the clam Chamelea Gallina, through two instrumental techniques, the Raman spectroscopy and Pyrolysis coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS), that provide morphological and chemical information. The data obtained will allow to carry out a preliminary evaluation of the human exposure to the MPs/NPs taken through the diet, deriving from the consumption of this mollusc.
