Erzurum Ovasındaki Mikroplastiklerin Tespit Edilmesi
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted the first report of microplastic contamination in Erzurum Plain, Turkey, detecting particles ranging from 1–10 mm in both soil and water samples and identifying polymers including styrene-butadiene, high-density polyethylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, and polypropylene using light microscopy, SEM, and FT-IR.
Bu çalışmada, Erzurum Ovasından toplanan toprak ve su örneklerinde mikroplastik birikimi araştırılmıştır. Tespit edilen mikroplastiklerin boyutları ve morfolojileri ışık mikroskobu ile, karakterizasyonları ise taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) ve Fourier dönüşümlü kızılötesi spektroskopisi (FT-IR) teknikleri ile belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlarda, boyutları 1 mm ile 10 mm arasında değişen mikroplastiklerin stiren bütadien, mikrokristal mumlar, yüksek yoğunluklu polietilen, akrilonirtil butadiedn stiren ve polipropilen gibi polimerlerden oluştuğu görüldü. Bu sonuçlar, Erzurum Ovasında mikroplastik kirliliğine dikkat çeken ilk rapor olma özelliği açısından önemlidir.

Microplastics monitoring in different environments: separation, physicochemical characterization, and quantification
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers systematically monitored microplastic contamination across multiple environments including a wastewater treatment plant, surrounding water bodies, and soils near plastic factories, characterizing shape, size, color, and polymer composition via microscopy and FTIR spectroscopy. They found fragments and fibers to be the most common microplastic shapes in water environments and documented simultaneous contamination across all sampled matrices.
Characterization of Microplastics using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), a technique that identifies materials by how they absorb light, to characterize microplastics — tiny plastic particles less than 5mm in size. This student poster work contributes to developing better methods for detecting and identifying microplastic pollution in environmental samples.

FT-IR analysis for monitoring marine microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper reviews Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy as an analytical tool for identifying and characterizing marine microplastics, which are difficult to monitor due to their small size and the complexity of environmental samples. Robust analytical methods are essential for assessing microplastic contamination and its potential entry into marine food webs.
