Detection of Microplastics using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy - A first approach

(Corresponding) Sommer C., Schneider L., Nguyen J., Prume J., Lautze K., Koch M.
Topic: 
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
The worldwide inability to enforce effective plastic guidelines results in an increasing accumulation of microplastics in natural habitats. Since this problem is in need of human intervention, we propose Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) as a new tool to identify microplastics. Our...Read more

Extent and distribution of microplastic contamination in the benthic sediment of Turag river in Bangladesh

Tofa T., (Corresponding) Chowdhury V., Nur S., Chowdhury M.
Topic: 
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
Microplastics are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment. However, a limited number of studies have been conducted on the quantification of accumulated microplastics in benthic sediments of freshwater bodies, which pose threat to the health of benthic communities through food chain contamination...Read more
