Abstract
This application note demonstrates quantitative pyrolysis of microplastics in soil.
Introduction
Microplastics are a major contributor to plastic pollution and draws global attention as a critical environmental issue. Analytical pyrolysis naturally lends itself to the identification of microplastics environmental matrices.
In previous publications(1,2,3), a Pyroprobe has been used to identify microplastics in various natural matrices, and in a complex mixed microplastic sample using diagnostic marker peaks. This application note is a continued study to identify microplastics in soil using marker peaks followed by quantification, using Pyroprobe 6150 interfaced to a GC-MS.
