Microplastic research group is focused on the following topics:

  • Research and development of technologies feasible for microplastic analysis
  • Quantitative and qualitative measurements of microplastics from environmental and food samples
    • Development of analytical methods
    • Microplastic load to aquatic environments via storm waters
  • Migration of microplastics ja chemicals from plastic food packages
  • Health effects of microplastics, especially for human gut microbiota
  • Industrial applications of microplastics research
  • Develoment of microplastic remediation methods

We have versatile and high-quality analytical instruments: imaging infrared microscope (Agilent Cary 670/620), Raman microscope (Thermo DXR2xi) and infrared spectrometer (Thermo Nicolet iS50). Moreover, we master methods for light microscopy, electron microscopy (SEM, TEM) and chemical analysis, such as chromatography mass spectrometry.

We have extensive experience on microplastic research and analyses since 2016. Our aims include e.g., to utilize the methods for environmetal and industrial samples, to develop and validate novel analytical methods, as well as to collaborate with various fields of research.
