Identification of microplastics in white wines capped with polyethylene stoppers using micro-Raman spectroscopy
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used micro-Raman spectroscopy for the first time to identify and characterize microplastics in white wines sealed with polyethylene synthetic stoppers. The study detected thousands of particles per liter and confirmed their plastic composition, suggesting that beverage packaging materials can be a source of microplastic contamination in the human diet.
Characterization of microplastics in water bottled in different packaging by Raman spectroscopy
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers detected and characterized microplastics in bottled water from different packaging types using Raman spectroscopy, confirming that plastic contamination occurs across various commercial water bottle materials.
Raman Spectroscopy Based Approaches for Microplastics Investigations
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed Raman spectroscopy-based approaches — including confocal Raman microscopy, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and automated imaging — for identifying and characterizing microplastics in environmental samples, highlighting their superior chemical specificity compared to FTIR for sub-10-μm particles. Accurate chemical identification of microplastics at the nanoscale is foundational for both environmental monitoring and toxicological research, as particle composition (polymer type and additives) strongly influences biological harm.
Microplastics Characterization by Raman Microscopy
AI summary Read the abstract
Raman microscopy enables reliable identification and quantification of microplastics in environmental samples, with smaller particles posing greater ecological risk due to their higher numbers and broader species exposure. Standardizing this analytical technique is essential for producing comparable data across studies and informing effective pollution monitoring.
