Summary

This study investigated thermoanalytical methods such as pyrolysis and TGA for optimizing the detection and characterization of microplastics in environmental samples. Thermoanalytical techniques offer a promising complement to visual and spectroscopic methods for quantifying microplastic pollution.

Study Type Environmental

Results of various thermoanalytical techniques are presented for the analysis of microplastics in sediment samples. The homogeneity and the representativness of samples war controlled, as well as steps of separation and microplastic detection by these techniques.
