    Uploaded by

    Subarna Hoque Ria
    The document presents a group project on microplastic detection in drinking water. It discusses the health impacts of microplastics such as immune system suppression and cancer. It describes the detection methods of microscopy, spectroscopy such as FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. FTIR allows identification based on characteristic vibrational bands while Raman spectroscopy can differentiate polymers down to submicron size and is effective for microplastic analysis. The importance of FTIR and advantages of Raman spectroscopy for microplastic detection are highlighted.

    Impacts of
    Microplastics

    • The health impacts of microplastics in


    drinking water are still being studied, but
    there are some concerns that they could
    cause

    • Immune system suppression


    • Cancer
    • Reproductive problems
    • Neurological damage

    Challenges
    Raman Spectroscopy –
    An effective technique in
    Microplastic Analysis

    o Analytical technique ( where


    scattered light is used).
    o RM combines with Raman
    spectroscopy and optical
    microscopy.
    o Produces a Raman spectrum.
    o Can probe microplastics down
    to submicron size range.
    o RM spectroscopy can
    differentiate Fig 1.Three types of scattering processes that can
    between Polypropylene and
    high density Polyethylene occur when light interacts with a molecule.
    Fig 3. Researchers at HORIBA Scientific used
    Fig 2. Raman spectra show a clear difference 785-nm excitation to do a line-scan measurement
    between two samples, with polypropylene in red across a fiber located in a sample labeled 100%
    and polyethylene HDPE in blue cotton. The experiment confirmed the presence of
    polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a synthetic
    fabric in the sample

    Scientists will also frequently search polymer databases to help identify micro-plastics. In
    these cases, researchers compare an unknown spectrum with a reference spectrum from a
    database
    • Cost effective and multipurpose tool for
    Importance measurements of a wide range of gas
    components
    of FTIR in • Future proof, long lasting and profitable
    investment.
    Microplastic • Reliability
    Detection • Multicomponent capability.
    Advantages of Raman Spectroscopy

    Can differentiate chemical structures, even if they contain the same


    atoms in different arrangements.

    Can analyze the sample multiple times without damage.

    Provides flexibility in controlling collection volumes.
