With the growing concern over microplastics in aquatic environments, our group decided to begin reseaching the presence of microplastics in the State College area. We used metal sieves and different size fractions to separate pastics and organic debris. The samples were then characterized via FT-IR microscopy in reflectance mode on gold slides and were matched using key peaks and library searches.
