Title

Number-based characterization of microplastics

Title Supplement
Poster presented at 4. Mülheimer Wasseranalytisches Seminar - MWAS 2020, Mülheim an der Ruhr, 16.-17.9.2020
Abstract
The performed experiments highlight that the environmental pollution with plastic waste is both, a number-and mass-based problem. A Particle Counter for liquids is used to compare non-weathered and laboratory-weathered polyethylene terephthalate (PET) samples. The particle size distribution (PSD) in a size range from 2-200µm and the absolute number concentration for each sample are detectable. Applications include support for ecotoxicological testing of microplastics.
