But how do you measure these particles reliably and in a way that makes the results comparable? That question was central to an expert session\u2018<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/expertsessie-analyse-van-microplastics\/\"><strong>Analysis of microplastics\u2019<\/strong><\/a><strong> at the WoTS 2026 technology fair, where two specialists shared the latest insights on the analysis of microplastics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Smart application of the guideline<\/h2>\n<p>According to the Assistant Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Svenja-Mintenig\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Svenja Mintenig<\/a> At Wageningen University &amp; Research, the challenge lies not only in detecting the particles themselves. Sampling, sample preparation, and quality assurance also have a major influence on the reliability of the final results.<\/p>\n<p>In her presentation, Mintenig shows that microplastic pollution differs from traditional chemical contaminants and therefore requires a different analytical methodology. By applying the new guideline ISO 24187:2023, laboratories can make measurement data more transparent and better reproducible.<\/p>\n<h2>About tires and microplastics<\/h2>\n<p>The second session focused on the analysis of tire wear particles, a major source of microplastics in the environment. Dr. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-due.de\/iac\/mike_wenzel.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Wenzel<\/a>, affiliated with the University of Duisburg-Essen<em>,<\/em> presented the results of his research in which he analyzed tire wear particles using TED-GC\/MS technology. This is an advanced analytical technique that makes it possible to accurately identify and characterize complex microplastic fractions.<\/p>\n<h2>Practical tools<\/h2>\n<p>For the audience, the expert session offered up-to-date knowledge and practical tools to improve the quality and comparability of microplastic analyses. The presentations made one thing clear: the discussion surrounding microplastics increasingly revolves around the question of how to measure particles in a uniform and scientifically sound manner. Precisely this standardization is important to make research results usable for risk assessments, regulations, and environmental models.<\/p>\n<h2>Missed the expert session?
