Abstract

Microplastics have become a pervasive pollutant in the environment, the extent to which is now being studied. A good initial step to understand how they are impacting the environment is to engage in testing/monitoring programs for the analysis of water to detect and characterize microplastics. Unfortunately, these analyses can be very complex, requiring significant expertise for the operation of intricate instrumentation. This presentation will introduce and discuss a new, automated approach, utilizing laser-based molecular microspectroscopy, to simplify the characterization of microplastics.
