Contamination issues as a challenge in quality control and quality assurance in microplastics analytics

Joana C. Prata et al.

Summary: Microplastics are widely distributed environmental contaminants requiring strict contamination control measures for sampling and assessment. Most studies only comply with a fraction of these measures, indicating a need for improvement in research standards.

Capture and characterisation of microplastics printed on paper via laser printer's toners

Cheng Fang et al.

Summary: Microplastics are prevalent environmental contaminants, with challenges in their characterisation due to complexity. Various techniques such as SEM, TEM, XPS, FT-IR, TGA, and Raman are employed to characterise microplastics generated during printing activities. Raman can distinguish and visualise microplastics in the complex mixture, highlighting the potential for millions of microplastics to be generated from daily printing activities.

Identification and visualisation of microplastics / nanoplastics by Raman imaging (iii): algorithm to cross-check multi-images

Cheng Fang et al.

Summary: The study developed an algorithm to merge multiple Raman images in order to enhance mapping accuracy for the identification of microplastics/nanoplastics, with validation conducted on microplastics/nanoplastics potentially generated by laser printers in offices or homes. This approach improves the certainty of mapping and identification in complex samples containing various materials with overlapping Raman signals.

Airborne microplastics in indoor and outdoor environments of a coastal city in Eastern China

Zhonglu Liao et al.

Summary: The study investigated the concentrations of airborne microplastics in indoor and outdoor environments in urban and rural areas of a coastal city in eastern China. The findings showed that indoor air had microplastic concentrations one order of magnitude higher than outdoor air, with urban areas having higher concentrations than rural areas. Airborne microplastics in the study were primarily fragments smaller than 100 μm in diameter.
