Topic:
Case studies of macro- and microplastics pollution in coastal waters and rivers
The aim of this research is to discuss the current state-of-art, basic data and the methodology for the quantitative and qualitative physical and chemical characterisation of the marine microplastics (MMs; polymer debris < 5 mm) and the Plastisphere. In particular, the surface of synthetic...Read more

Topic:
Case studies of macro- and microplastics pollution in coastal waters and rivers
Studies on microplastic pollution commonly use expensive spectroscopic methods such as FTIR spectroscopy or Raman spectroscopy. Alternatively, studies could also employ cheaper methods such as optical microscopes, which are prone to errors. Here, we present an inexpensive and simple multi-spectral...Read more
