Summary
This article describes emerging optical techniques capable of detecting millimeter- to sub-micron-scale plastic particles in aquatic environments. These methods could significantly improve the ability to monitor microplastic pollution in rivers and oceans.
Emerging optical techniques for sniffing out millimeter- to sub-micron-scale plastics in aquatic settings could aid in the fight against a looming environmental threat.
