Automated analysis of microplastics based on vibrational spectroscopy: are we measuring the same metrics?

Mingtan Dong et al.

Summary: The traditional manual analysis of microplastics has its drawbacks, such as being labor-intensive, inaccurate in identification, and lacking uniformity. Automated analysis strategies based on vibrational spectroscopy, including laser direct infrared, Raman, and focal plane array-Fourier transform infrared imaging, have been developed. Each strategy has its advantages and limitations in terms of quantification, detection limit, size measurement, and material identification accuracy and speed.

A reliable method for the isolation and characterization of microplastics in fish gastrointestinal tracts using an infrared tunable quantum cascade laser system

Adrian Lopez-Rosales et al.

Summary: The frequent reports of microplastics in fish stomachs have raised societal and environmental concerns as they can accumulate along the food chain. The analysis of microplastics in fish requires addressing two main challenges: sample treatment and final characterization. This study proposes a novel method using a quantum cascade laser-based device for faster characterization, but it also faces challenges in sample processing and particle handling.

Hide-and-seek: Threshold values and contribution towards better understanding of recovery rate in microplastic research

Inta Dimante-Deimantovica et al.

Summary: Microplastic pollution is a pressing environmental issue. This study tested methodological steps that may cause microplastic losses during sample treatment and provided recovery rate threshold values. The results showed that extraction methods and material amount impact the recovery rate, with physical effects being more important than chemical degradation.

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.

Drinking plastics? - Quantification and qualification of microplastics in drinking water distribution systems by mu FTIR and Py-GCMS

Inga V. Kirstein et al.

Summary: The concentrations of microplastics in potable water are debated, likely due to variations in water quality, quantification methods, and analytical standards. Reliable methods for assessing microplastics in drinking water are lacking, but proper assessment requires quality assurance, adequate volume assessment, and understanding of analytical method differences. The study used validated techniques to assess microplastics in drinking water distribution systems and found low contents, suggesting low risk to human health.

Validation of pressurized fractionated filtration microplastic sampling in controlled test environment

Gabor Bordos et al.

Summary: The current research results on microplastics in the environment are uncertain due to inappropriate sampling, detection, and quantification methods. Surface sampling is more efficient than sampling in deeper layers of the water column, and using environmentally relevant reference particles can yield recovery rates closer to real environmental concentrations.

Constraining the atmospheric limb of the plastic cycle

Janice Brahney et al.

Summary: Plastic pollution is a significant issue in the 21st century, with recent research focusing on the transport of microplastics by the atmosphere. Studies suggest that atmospheric microplastics in the western United States primarily come from secondary reemission sources, highlighting the importance of understanding the sources and pathways of atmospheric plastic pollution.

COVID-19: Performance study of microplastic inhalation risk posed by wearing masks

Lu Li et al.

Summary: Wearing face masks has become the new normal worldwide due to the global spread of COVID-19. This study found that wearing masks significantly reduces the inhalation risk of particles, including microplastics, even after prolonged use. Different types of masks pose varying risks of microplastic inhalation, with N95 masks posing the least risk. Reusing masks after disinfection processes can increase the risk of inhaling microplastics.

Microplastics as a Trojan horse for trace metals

L. Hildebrandt et al.

Summary: The study found that microplastics have significant sorption of metal ions at neutral pH and can release them, potentially impacting the environment and organisms. Different metals and metalloid ions showed varying degrees of sorption, indicating that microplastics could pose a potential threat to aquatic life and human health.

A Non-Invasive Photonics-Based Device for Monitoring of Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Architectural/Sensorial Components & Technical Specifications

Anastasios Doulamis et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a new photonic-based device for managing Diabetic Foot Ulcers using hyperspectral and thermal imaging to measure ulcer status and calculate parameters for early prediction and prognosis. The device has both home and professional editions, with the professional edition equipped with advanced tools for detailed diagnosis and treatment. By employing machine learning and deep learning structures, the device aims to help doctors and patients understand the impact of biomarkers on DFU and is set to be validated at three European hospitals for efficiency and performance.
