Spectroscopic detection of microplastics
OSA Optical Sensors and Sensing Congress 2021 (AIS, FTS, HISE, SENSORS, ES)

Martín Koch
Summary
This paper reviews spectroscopic methods — particularly FTIR and Raman spectroscopy — for detecting and distinguishing microplastic particles from natural materials in marine samples. Researchers discuss the advantages and limitations of each method and how they can be optimised for different particle sizes and sample types.
We discuss advantages and drawbacks of different methods to spectroscopically distinguish microplastics particles and natural materials typically found in the marine environment.
