Analysis of microplastics in environmental samples using TED-GC-MS

  • The presence of plastic debris and especially small plastic particles in marine ecosystems has been recognized in the 1970`s. Since then various other environmental systems all over the world, like rivers, lakes and biota have been found to be polluted by plastics. Lately, agriculturally used land, waste-water treatment and biogas facilities come into focus as possibly relevant distribution vectors. To monitor the situation and investigate distribution pathways, the need for fast and reliable analytical procedures is high. Up to now, there is no standard procedure for sampling, concentrating and analyzing plastic particles in environmental samples. Our group recently reported the development of a new analyzing method for microscale plastic particles, thermal extraction desorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry (TED-GC-MS). This method consists of thermal extraction of the sample via thermogravimetric analysis, collection of the evolved gaseous decomposition products on aThe presence of plastic debris and especially small plastic particles in marine ecosystems has been recognized in the 1970`s.

Up to now, there is no standard procedure for sampling, concentrating and analyzing plastic particles in environmental samples. Our group recently reported the development of a new analyzing method for microscale plastic particles, thermal extraction desorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry (TED-GC-MS). This method consists of thermal extraction of the sample via thermogravimetric analysis, collection of the evolved gaseous decomposition products on a solid-phase adsorber and analysis of the loaded adsorber using Thermal-Desorption-GC-MS. This technique utilizes the characteristic decomposition products of polymers for identification and even quantification of plastics in environmental samples. In the present work we investigated samples of fermentation residues taken from a biogas plant. The results of sample preparation, concentration and analysis are presented as well as a comparison with alternative methods.zeige mehrzeige weniger
