Sample Preparation and Analysis Methods of Microplastics

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers worked to establish a standardized method for detecting and measuring microplastics in textile industry wastewater, aiming to create consistent protocols that can be applied across different matrices to better understand how synthetic fibers from manufacturing enter the environment.

This research study made in collaboration between Aquafil Spa and CNR STIIMA (Biella Department) is aimed at the creation of a standard method applicable to the determination of microplastics (MP) in different matrices present in the textile field such as waste water...
