WP 2:

Analytical

methods

This work package aims to develop robust, fast and reliable methods to quantify plastic particles’ size, shape and mass. It produces the analytical tools needed for the other WPs.

Leader: AAU

SYNERGIES WITH OTHER WPS

 

WP 2 produces the analytical tools needed for the other WPs.

2.1

How can analytical methods for quantification of plastic pollution be optimized?

Lowering detection limits in terms of particle sizes

2.2

Improved sample preparation techniques

Streamline interpretation of FTIR images

Validate simple screening methods

How can analytical methods for nanoplastics be developed?

Develop sample preparation methods for quantifying microplastics in the in the low- to sub-micron size range

Develop HC/EGA GC-MS analysis techniques to quantify plastic mass in the in the low- to sub-micron size range

SCOPE OF WORK PACKAGE 2

 

The scope of WP 2 is to improve existing methods and develop new ones to quantify micro- and nanoplastics. It is furthermore a goal that all methods are reliable and verifiable.
