Polymer Primer for CLEAR Lab

A short primer to help students in the CLEAR Lab understand the chemical and practical differences between the various types of polymers commonly found in plastic pollution in Nunatsiavut, Canada, and how they can be distinguished from one another using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. All data relating to plastics found in Nunatsiavut is owned and controlled by the Nunatsiavut Government and published only after community review.
