Synthetic Polymer Contamination in Bottled Water (2018, background): “The average microplastic density across all brands, lot numbers and bottles analyzed (325MPP/L) is significantly higher in this study as compared to that reported by Schymanski et al. (2018) (14 MPP/L).”
A Global Perspective on Microplastics (2020, methodology): “Raman microspectroscopy can provide detection down to about 1 μm and is being increasingly utilized (Schymanski et al., 2018).”
Microplastic sources, formation, toxicity and remediation: a review (2023, background): “While plastics used in packaging materials are relatively easy to recycle (Schyns and Shaver 2021), some plastic materials are more difficult to recycle, and there are public concerns about their use, such as medical plastic waste, particularly in light of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)…”
