Polyvinyl chloride microplastic detection by single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for the characterization of model microplastics
The aim is to prepare and characterize PVC model micro/nanoplastics for use in risk assessment studies.
Used single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) for detection.
Prepared PVC micro/nanoplastics as model materials.
Characterized microplastics for their risks and impacts.
Successfully detected PVC micro/nanoplastics using SP-ICP-MS.
Characterization provides valuable data for risk assessments.
Methodology enhances understanding of microplastic behavior in environments.
