Measurement of tyre-based microplastics using traditional and quantum cascade laser-based infrared spectrometry
The study presents first time the use of micro transflectance IR to study tyre particles down to 20 µm. Traditional total attenuated reflectance is demonstrated as a suitable way to analyse bigger microplastics. These two options open pathways to monitor this important emerging contaminant in environmental matrices.
