• Microplastic Contamination in Freshwater Environments: A Review, Focusing on Interactions with Sediments and Benthic Organisms (2020, background): “It is important to ensure that the filter used in the analysis phase is IR-transparent and the particles are sufficiently thin to avoid the total absorption or scattering of the IR light [173,174].”
• Plasticenta: First evidence of microplastics in human placenta. (2021, background): “jugated rings present in pigment molecules are highly polarizable and, hence, their Raman signals are more intense than those of the apolar polymeric matrix (Käppler et al., 2016).”
• Contributions of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in microplastic pollution research: A review (2020, methodology): “In general, two approaches are followed to analyze MPs on filter materi- als: (1) measurement of complete filter area spot by spot (Kappler et al., 2016; Loder et al., 2015; Primpke et al., 2017) and (2) measurement of selected points of interest (Maes et al., 2017).”
