Raman Microspectroscopy Detection and Characterisation of Microplastics in Human Breastmilk

Raman Microspectroscopy Detection and Characterisation of Microplastics in Human Breastmilk The widespread use of plastics determines the inevitable human exposure to its by-products, including microplastics (MPs), which enter the human organism mainly by ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Once internalised, MPs may pass across cell membranes and translocate to different body sites, triggering specific cellular mechanisms. Hence, the potential health impairment caused by the internalisa...
