Classification, Quantification, and Fluorescence Behavior Analysis of Microplastics via Nile Red Staining: Application to Detection Emission in Takeaway Food Container
-hexane 3:1 (v/v), 10 μg/mL, immersion staining) achieves high FI, successfully differentiates among all polymers. Seven takeaway containers released 420-1326 MPs/box, most of which were between 10 and 20 μm and in irregular fragments. SEM observations confirmed that exposures induced surface cracks and wrinkles, which significantly compromised surface integrity and facilitated the release of MPs.
