Summary

This study applied fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy combined with image processing algorithms to optically identify tire wear particles on soil. The technique successfully detected and distinguished tire rubber microplastics from soil matrix, offering a non-destructive method for monitoring this significant microplastic source.

Polymers

Tire wear is one of the major contributors of environmental pollution by microplastic. FD-FLIM in combination with an image processing algorithm are successfully applied to detect tyre wear on soil.
