Summary

Researchers evaluated near-infrared (NIR) and Raman process spectroscopy for rapid identification of microplastic contamination in agricultural soils. Both techniques provided real-time polymer identification without complex sample preparation, though Raman demonstrated superior discrimination between similar polymer types in mixed samples.
