A Reliable Method for the Isolation and Characterization of Microplastics in Fish Gastrointestinal Tracts Using an Infrared Tunable Quantum Cascade Laser System
López-Rosales, Adrián; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; Fernández-González, V.; López-Mahía, P.; Muniategui, Soledad (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 ... -
A Reliable Method to Determine Airborne Microplastics Using Quantum Cascade Laser Infrared Spectrometry
López-Rosales, Adrián; Ferreiro, Borja; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; Fernández-Amado, María; González-Pleiter, Miguel; López-Mahía, P.; Rosal, Roberto; Muniategui, Soledad (Elsevier, 2024-01-05)[Abstract] The number of studies dealing with airborne microplastics (MPs) is increasing but sampling and sample treatment are not standardized, yet. Here, a fast and reliable method to characterize MPs is presented. It ... -
Comparison of Microplastic Type, Size, and Composition in Atmospheric and Foliage Samples in an Urban Scenario
Falakdin, Parisa; López-Rosales, Adrián; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; Terzaghi, Elisa; Di Guardo, Antonio; Muniategui, Soledad (Elsevier, 2024-04-17)[Abstract] The rising trend of plastic production in last years and the inadequate disposal of related waste has raised concerns regarding microplastic-related environmental issues. Microplastic particles disperse by means ... -
Development of a Fast and Efficient Method to Analyze Microplastics in Planktonic Samples
López-Rosales, Adrián; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; Grueiro-Noche, Gloria; Fernández-González, V.; López-Mahía, P.; Muniategui, Soledad (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, ... -
Development of an Analytical Procedure to Analyze Microplastics in Edible Macroalgae Using an Enzymatic-Oxidative Digestion
López-Rosales, Adrián; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; López-Mahía, P.; Muniategui, Soledad (Elsevier, 2022-08-30)[Abstract] Besides being food and a refuge to marine species, macroalgae are a powerful and renewable economic resource. However, they may introduce microplastics (MPs) in the trophic chain. We developed a reliable analytical ... -
Reviewing the Fundamentals and Best Practices to Characterize Microplastics Using State–of–The-Art Quantum-Cascade Laser Reflectance-Absorbance Spectroscopy
López-Rosales, Adrián; Ferreiro, Borja; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; Kerstan, Andreas; Robey, Darren; Muniategui, Soledad (Elsevier, 2025-03-21)[Abstract] Microplastic pollution studies depend on reliable identification of the suspicious particles. Out of the various analytical techniques available to characterize them, infrared transflectance using a tuneable ... -
Sample-Based Subsampling Strategies to Identify Microplastics in the Presence of a High Number of Particles Using Quantum-Cascade Laser-Based Infrared Imaging
López-Rosales, Adrián; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; Ferreiro, Borja; Muniategui, Soledad (Elsevier, 2025-03-22)[Abstract] Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in all ecosystems, affecting wildlife and, ultimately, human health. The complexity of natural samples plus the unspecificity of their treatments to isolate polymers renders ...
