Innovations transforming microplastic detection
Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, are categorized into primary and secondary types. Primary microplastics are intentionally manufactured for industrial and consumer products, while secondary microplastics arise from the degradation of larger plastics in the environment. The widespread presence of both types in ecosystems, particularly aquatic ones, has raised concerns due to their potential ecological impacts and risks to human health through bioaccumulation.
As research on these risks intensifies, this expert eBook provides a detailed exploration of microplastics, their distribution in water bodies, and advanced detection methods, offering crucial insights and solutions to this environmental challenge.
This eBook also includes various case studies showcasing Shimadzu Corporation’s cutting-edge analytical technologies in characterizing microplastics. As a member of the ISO Commission, find out how Shimadzu plays a key role in microplastics analysis and in standardizing analytical methods.
