The production and use of millions of tons of plastics worldwide have led to an uncontrolled release and accumulation of plastic debris all around our planet with yet unpredictable and multifaceted implications. Recent studies have revealed how plastic in the environment undergoes fragmentation even down to nanometric dimensions [1], however suitable methods for the analysis of such small plastic particle sizes are still scarce [2]. Here we present an innovative approach for the characterization of nanoplastic particles using Centrifugal Field-Flow Fractionation coupled with UV, Multi Angle Light Scattering detection and Raman Microscopy.
