Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates beached plastic pellets' distribution and chemical properties at various Southern Italian coastal locations, including two spots in Sicily and one in Calabria.
- - It highlights how physical characteristics of the pellets, such as shape and color, relate to how long they’ve been on the beach and how they've been transported.
- - By using portable Raman spectroscopy, researchers could quickly identify the types of plastic, mainly polyethylene and polypropylene, and emphasize the need for ongoing beach monitoring to track pollution levels.
