Detection and quantification of microplastic in soils using a 3D Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope

Abstract: <p>There is growing concern regarding the pollution of our environment with plastic materials, whereas especially the dimension of microplastic pollution and its ecological effect is widely discussed. Most studies focus on aquatic environments, while studies in terrestrial systems (mainly soils) are rare. This partly results from the challenges arising when microplastic particles need to be separated from organic and mineral particles. Key analytic techniques for microplastic detection in aquatic… Show more
