Periodic Reporting for period 1 - NanoPlastBall (Detection and identification of nanoplastics in water via plasmonic-based spectrometric methods using evaporation-driven colloidal assembly)

Our environment is extensively polluted with plastic particles in a wide range of sizes, from the largest pieces that we can identify with our bare eyes, to the so called “microplastics” (< 5 mm). As a consequence of the improvement in detection techniques, we now know...
