Microplastics have become the world's most emerging pollutants today due to the ubiquitous
use of plastics in everyday life and their ability to migrate from micro to nanoscale to every …

Analytical pyrolysis has been widely used in biomass research to study the reaction
mechanisms, screen catalysts, optimize reaction conditions, and characterize products …

Pyrolysis-GC/MS is increasingly used to quantify microplastics (MP) in environmental
samples. In general, prior to analysis, purification steps are carried out to reduce the …

Accumulation of microplastics in aquatic environments is an issue of emerging concern.
Initially, research focused on marine systems. However, recent studies also investigate the …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea water bodies are ones of the most polluted, especially with
microplastics. As the seafloor is the ultimate sink for litter, it is considered a hotspot for …

There is growing concern from scientists, policy makers, and the public about the
contamination of natural and indoor environments with plastics, particularly …

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) plays a major role in nutrient cycles and for the
transport of pollutants within local and transboundary water catchments. Obtaining …

Microplastics analysis in solid environmental samples like sediments and soils requires
complex preparation steps to eliminate interfering matrix components. This is often …

A reliable analytical method has been developed to quantify poly (vinyl chloride)(PVC) in
environmental samples. Quantification was conducted via combustion ion chromatography …

Microplastics (MP) have been in the spotlight of environmental research for several years.
Thermoanalytical methods, such as pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography and mass …
