Simple Generation of Suspensible Secondary Microplastic Reference Particles via Ultrasound Treatment

Simple Generation of Suspensible Secondary Microplastic Reference Particles via Ultrasound Treatment

In the environment the weathering of plastic debris is one of the main sources of secondary microplastic (MP). It is distinct from primary MP, as it is not intentionally engineered, and presents a highly heterogeneous analyte composed of plastic fragments in the size range of 1 μm−1 mm. To detect se...
