Microplastic Detection and Analysis in Water Samples

Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation/Advances in science, technology & innovation 2022 2 citations

AI summary Read the abstract

Thermoanalytical and spectroscopic methods enable detection and quantification of microplastics in water samples, which is critical for tracing pollution sources and protecting drinking water and desalination infrastructure. Robust water monitoring methods are essential for assessing human exposure risks from microplastic-contaminated water supplies.

Microplastic detection in water samples becomes important for tracing microplastic sources. Microplastic may harm desalination facilities by blocking filters and disturbing the marine food chain. Thermoanalytical methods, such as aspyrolysis gas chromatography mass...
