The Efficacy of Py-GC–MS in the Microplastic Analysis of Human Blood
March 17th 2025A recent study evaluated the suitability of pyrolysis–gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC–MS) for detecting and quantifying micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in human blood. LCGC International spoke to Cassandra Rauert of the Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences at The University of Queensland (Woolloongabba, Australia), corresponding author for the paper resulting from this study, about her team’s work.
