A new "gold standard" for soil analysis and microplastic extraction has been developed at the University of New England (UNE), unlocking vital capabilities to safeguard agricultural soils and protect ...
Current techniques for measuring nano/microplastic (N/MP) concentrations in soil require the soil organic matter content to be separated and have limited resolution for analyzing N/MPs sized <1 m.
Researchers at the University of New England have created a low-cost, high-recovery method to extract microplastics from agricultural soils, potentially establishing a global testing standard. This ...
A team of researchers has developed a novel and simple method to measure the concentration of nano/microplastics in soils using spectroscopy at two wavelengths. The novelty of this method is that it ...
Rows of gray plastic film stretch across a field of soil. Leafy green strawberry plants poke out of holes in the top of the film. Agricultural plastics, such as this mulch film covering strawberry ...
