Development of a Fast and Efficient Method to Analyze Microplastics in Planktonic Samples
(Elsevier, 2021-04-22)
[Abstract] Microplastics (MPs) affect plankton (a basis of the trophic chain) and planktivorous fish can ingest them through food confusion or by trophic transmission. Consensus to determine MPs in plankton is lacking and, ...
A Reliable Method for the Isolation and Characterization of Microplastics in Fish Gastrointestinal Tracts Using an Infrared Tunable Quantum Cascade Laser System
(Elsevier, 2022-03-26)
[Abstract] Societal and environmental concern due to frequent reports of microplastics in fish stomachs raised as they may accumulate along the trophic chain. The request for analysing microplastics in fish stresses two ...
Weathering-Independent Differentiation of Microplastic Polymers by Reflectance IR Spectrometry and Pattern Recognition
(Elsevier, 2022-07-07)
[Abstract] The presence and effects of microplastics in the environment is being continuously studied, so the need for a reliable approach to ascertain the polymer/s constituting them has increased. To characterize them, ...
