The discovery could help combat climate change and provide a more sustainable way to produce certain industrial products.</p> Mon, 16 Sep 2024 13:08:31 +0000 admin 5185790 at /epi-biostat-occh /epi-biostat-occh/channels/news/cutting-edge-technology-detects-nanoplastics-water-instantly-357890 <p>A ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ-led research team has developed the first real-time, on-site technology capable of detecting and deciphering nanoplastics from all other particles in water, a capacity akin to being able to find a needle in a haystack within milliseconds.</p> <p>Microplastic pieces are between 1 micrometre and 5 millimetres, roughly equivalent to a grain of rice. Nanoplastics are far tinier - a single nanometre is just 0.000001 millimetres. For comparison, a human hair is approximately 80,000–100,000 nanometers wide.</p> Thu, 04 Jul 2024 17:50:18 +0000 admin 5098170 at /epi-biostat-occh
