Environmental Microplastic Analysis in Pyrolysis GC/MS
Pyrolysis GC/MS has a potential as an effective tool for analyzing environmental microplastics. Here, we developed a method for identification of polymer species in a complex mixture using pyrolysis GC/MS coupled with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry. In addition, we successfully quantified the content of polystyrene ingested in single Daphnia magna in pyrolysis GC/MS. Moreover, pyrolysis GC/MS analysis of the airborne MPs was also demonstrated.
