Measurement of Microplastics and Use of Thermal-Damaged Plastics Library

Microscopic plastic with a size of several μm to 5 mm or less is called microplastic. As a marine environmental problem that adversely affects coastlines and marine ecosystems, and consequently may potentially affect human health, microplastics have become a global issue in recent years. As early action is necessary to protect the global environment, various analytical devices are used to designate the sources of microplastics and study countermeasures.
 
This article introduces measurement of microplastics with a size on the order of several mm and use of the Shimadzu thermal-damaged plastics library to identify the samples.
 
Instrument: Shimadzu IRSpirit Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR)
