Summary

This laboratory study compares XRF, ATR-FTIR, near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy, and LIBS techniques for identifying marine plastic debris, evaluating their potential as field-deployable sensors for microplastic and debris studies.

Here we present a laboratory study that compares a range of approaches for plastics identification: XRF (X-ray fluorescence), ATR-FTIR (attenuated total reflectance - Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), NIR (near-infrared) reflectance spectroscopy, and LIBS (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) as a key step in developing field-going plastics sensors for studying marine debris and microplastics.
