Frontispiece: Photoluminescence‐Based Techniques for the Detection of Micro‐ and Nanoplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This review article examines photoluminescence-based detection techniques for identifying micro- and nanoplastics in environmental samples. The paper discusses how fluorescence labeling, intrinsic plastic fluorescence, and surface-enhanced luminescence methods can be applied to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of plastic particle detection.
Environmental pollution especially by micro- and nanoplastics is highly topical our days. The elimination of these plastics is extremely difficult, however, detecting them is also very challenging. Different detection methods are discussed in the Review by L. Prodi et al. on page 17529 ff.
