ALVTechnologies Philippines Incorporated, together with our manufacturer Horiba Scientific, would like to invite you to join our webinar on the topic of “Microplastics in Air and Food: Tackling Human Exposure with Raman Spectroscopy“ on May 22, 2025 at 9:00 PM (Philippine time).
In 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a report on human exposure to microplastics through diet and inhalation. The report highlighted a critical lack of reliable data on the quantities of microplastics present in food and air, and called for the development of standardized analytical methods, enhanced data collection, and further research into potential health effects.
One key area of concern is the limited data on microplastic particles smaller than 10 µm. Recent studies suggest that these tiny particles may pose a greater risk to human health, making this size range a priority for future research.
Three years on, meaningful progress has been made. In this webinar, Alina Maltseva, Market Application Specialist, will discuss the latest developments in microplastics analysis, the existing protocols for monitoring contamination in food and air, and HORIBA’s contributions to advancing this field.
- How to apply Raman spectroscopy to measure microplastics concentration
- How to adapt sample preparation protocols for food and air matrices
- Best practices for reporting results and ensuring quality control
