Article Synopsis
- The research aimed to create a new method for quantifying nanoplastics in water samples, even with the presence of microplastics and other particles, by using fluorescent organic dyes for binding.
- The study demonstrated effective binding to polystyrene nanoparticles, indicated by changes in zeta potential, and used centrifugation to separate free dyes from bound particles before analyzing them through capillary electrophoresis and fluorescence detection.
- This novel approach allows for fast screening of water samples, achieving high binding percentages and confirming minimal interference from other substances, making it suitable for rapid testing of various water sources.
