ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

Mikroplastika je sveprisutni zagađivač akvatičnih ekosistema, često akumulirana u sedimentima rijeka i jezera. Cilj ovog istraživanja je procena izazova i komparativna analiza hemijske identifikacije mikroplastike ekstrahovane iz sedimenta rijeka i jezera u Crnoj Gori, primenom Raman spektroskopije (manualna i automatska analiza) i FTIR ATR spektroskopije. Rezultati pokazuju da Raman spektroskopija omogućava detekciju manjih i kontaminiranih čestica, pružajući neinvazivne analize, ali je ograničena pojavom fluorescentnih smetnji i lošijim kvalitetom spektra kod nekih uzoraka. FTIR ATR, s druge strane, daje jasne i reproducibilne spektralne podatke za veće čestice, ali zahteva direktan kontakt sa uzorkom, što može dovesti do gubitka čestica. Kombinovana primena obe metode omogućava preciznu hemijsku karakterizaciju i pruža ključne uvide u ekološke implikacije mikroplastike.
