Identification of Microplastics Using Raman Spectroscopy

Microplastics

Microplastic pollution is a growing environmental issue. Identification is crucial for assessing their risk to the environment, wildlife, and mankind. Raman microscopy is a great tool for the identification of small microplastics. This application note explores how the RM5 Raman Microscope combined with the KnowItAll Raman database can be used to identify polymers commonly found in the Earths aquatic systems.
