description <p>Microplastic pollution has emerged as a significant global environmental concern, affecting marine, terrestrial, and atmospheric ecosystems. As microplastic contamination continues to intensify, the need for precise, efficient, and scalable detection method is growing. This review highlights recent advancements in microplastic detection technologies, with a particular focus on Laser Direct Infrared (LDIR) spectroscopy. Utilizing a Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL), LDIR offers rapid, sensitive, and automated detection capabilities. It significantly reduces analysis time compared to conventional techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopic techniques, making it ideal for large-scale environmental monitoring. Its ability to identify particles as small as 10 μm, combined with enhanced wavelength accuracy, positions LDIR as a promising tool for microplastic analysis across various environmental matrices. Despite some limitations, such as a narrower spectral range, LDIR's superior speed and precision make it a critical advancement for understanding and addressing the global microplastic crisis.</p><h2>Other Information</h2> <p> Published in: Talanta<br> License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.talanta.2024.127284" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.talanta.2024.127284</a></p>
