UBC的研究人员开发了一个低成本的便携式工具,可以在几分钟内准确检测日常物品中的微塑料。 Researchers at UBC have developed a low-cost, portable tool that can accurately detect microplastics in everyday items within minutes. 该装置配有一个应用程序,使用荧光标志探测小至50纳米的塑料微粒。 The device, paired with an app, uses fluorescent labeling to detect plastic particles as small as 50 nanometers. 每次测试只需花费1.5美分,有助于保护人类健康和生态系统免受微塑料和纳米塑料的威胁。 It costs only 1.5 cents per test and can help protect human health and ecosystems from the threat of microplastics and nanoplastics. 该工具使用智能手机或其他移动设备,需要微小的液体样本,可以鼓励转向生物降解材料,减少塑料摄入风险。 The tool works with a smartphone or other mobile device, requires a tiny liquid sample, and could encourage a shift towards biodegradable materials and reducing plastic ingestion risks.
