Summary

This review discusses how advances in Raman microscopy automation are enabling higher-throughput analysis of environmental particles, with aerosols and microplastics cited as key applications that stand to benefit from cheaper, automated instrumentation.

Abstract Micro Raman spectroscopy has been applied very early in environmental analytics. However, until now the field of application is quite limited. The main reasons for the low acceptance are high cost of the method and the low throughput. New developments in technology lead to cheaper instrumentation. Automation of Raman microscopy of particles might be a solution for a higher throughput and a broader application in environmental analytics. A more detailed analysis of aerosols and microplastic is good examples that could benefit from this development.
