A Resilient In Situ Raman-Based Framework for Identifying Thermally Aged Microplastics: Validation in Waste-to-Energy Incineration
atmospheric MPs annually, with a median particle length of 9.0 μm, highlighting potential environmental and inhalation risks. Our study provides a robust framework for identifying aged MPs and underscores the need to address incineration-derived MP pollution.
