Victor<p>Effects of pre-treatment on characterization of microplastics in biosolids via optical photothermal infrared spectroscopy. The purpose of this study was to improve the characterization of MPs in complex biosolid matrices by optimizing sample preparation for morphological and chemical analyses with different spectroscopic techniques. <a href="https://spore.social/tags/microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>microplastics</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/plastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>plastics</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/laboratory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>laboratory</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/biosolids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biosolids</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/wastewater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wastewater</span></a> <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304389425023647" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencedirect.com/science/arti</span><span class="invisible">cle/pii/S0304389425023647</span></a></p>
