Microplastics Characterization by Raman Microscopy

2022
Barbara E. Oßmann

Summary

Raman microscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for identifying and characterizing microplastics at small particle sizes that are difficult to analyze with other methods, enabling more accurate quantification in environmental samples. Improving characterization techniques is critical because smaller microplastic particles are more numerous and more likely to be ingested by a wider range of organisms, including humans.

Identification and quantification of microplastics in the environment is increasingly important. With decreasing particle size, microplastic numbers and therewith the number of species potentially affected by microplastics rise. However, data on the occurrence of...
