Investigating optical microplastic detection methods using fluorescent staining through Nile Red
Microplastics (MPs) are small pieces of plastic debris typically defined as smaller than 5mm. Given that the global environment faces a growing plastic pollution crisis, an urgent need exists for rapid, low-cost microplastic detection systems to characterize the health and environmental risk posed b...
