Sunlight irradiation is the predominant process for degrading plastics in environment, but our current understanding of degradation smaller, submicron (<1000 nm) particles limited due to prior analytical constraints. We used infrared photothermal heterodyne imaging (IR-PHI) simultaneously analyze chemical and morphological changes single polystyrene (PS) (∼1000 when exposed ultraviolet (UV) (λ = 250–400 nm). Within 6 h irradiation, bands associated with backbone PS decreased, accompanied by a reduction particle size. Concurrently, formation several spectral features photooxidation was attributed ketones, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, esters, lactones. Spectral outcomes were present an updated reaction scheme photodegradation PS. After 36 h, average size reduced 478 ± 158 nm.

The presence of microplastics in various environmental matrices is a reality. Besides, sewage treatment plants (STPs) play crucial role further adding to the microplastic pool environment, especially water and soil resources. As conventional STPs are not primarily meant remove microplastics, treated effluent sludge contain significant amount items which ultimately discharged into surface water/soil. present study investigated selected Central India contributing environment. Inlet, outlet, samples were collected from seven analyzed for microplastics. Microplastics found all with higher amounts inlet (3-35.5 items/L) compared outlet (2-13.5 items/L). Nevertheless, showed highest (16-389 items/kg) under study.
