What is Microplastics?
Microplastics are small pieces of plastics that sized typically μm scale, up to 5 mm. For living things, intaking them may cause a damage to their organs as well as latent possibility for piling toxic substances up in their body, that may affect us human beings because of bioaccumulation. We Shimadzu can offer you various solutions for microplastics, from pretreatment to qualification and quantification.
