It has been discovered that Raman spectroscopy is an effective tool for identifying and quantifying nanoplastics. A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Barcelona in Spain demonstrates the potential of this method for accurately determining the size of nanoplastics in a sample. The results of the study showed that Raman spectroscopy was able to differentiate between different fractions of nanoplastics in a sample, potentially providing a more accurate way to characterize the size of nanoplastics in the environment. This method is non-destructive and can be used to measure nanoplastics in both water and soil samples. The researchers believe that the method holds promise for future studies of the presence and amount of nanoplastics in the environment.
