Determination of the microplastics emission in the effluent of a municipal waste water treatment plant using Raman microspectroscopy

Samples from the secondary clarifier effluent of a waste water treatment plant (serving 98500 inhabitants) were analyzed to determine the microplastics (MP) emission.The samples were collected using a stainless steel centrifugal pump and filtered through a 10 μm stainless steel cartridge filter. Mic...
