<p>Microplastic pollution in oceans is among the global environmental concerns of our time. Emerging research on ocean environments indicates that microfibers, such as those originating from textiles, are some of the most commonly occurring type of microplastic contaminants. While Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is commonly used to identify and characterize pollutant samples obtained from the environment, this identification is challenging because infrared spectra of materials can be modified by exposure to the ocean, air, UV light, and other ambient conditions, in a process referred to as “weathering”. We report preliminary efforts in improving FTIR characterization of microplastics by building a library of infrared spectra of common textile fibers weathered under a selection of ambient conditions. Consumer textile materials including polyester, nylon, cotton, and other, were exposed to a selection of ambient conditions: ocean, air, and wastewater treatment stages, in a controlled weathering experiment. Infrared spectra were monitored for up to 52 weeks, with the resulting data illuminating on the environmental fate and longevity of synthetic and natural fibers. Spectral changes caused by weathering were found to depend strongly on both the composition of the material and the specific ambient conditions. This library of weathered material spectra is useful not only in easier identification of environmental microfibers, but also in helping us estimate the duration and manner of weathering that a given environmental microfiber may have experienced.</p>

The infrared spectra were registered for series of three-ring liquid crystalline esters, differing in the structure of alkyl chain, in the substitution of benzene ring by fluorine atoms and in the type of helicoidal structure in the chiral smectic CA phase with antiferroelectric properties. The influence of molecular structure on the shift of signals coming from carbonyl group, located in the rigid core, was observed.

Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is a serious disease that is difficult to diagnose especially at early stage. Infrared spectroscopy is a promising approach for diagnosing MM. The principal component analysis (PCA) allows us to reduce the dimension of the data and keep only the important variables. In this study, we apply principal components analysis to infrared (IR) spectra of blood serum from healthy donors and multiple myeloma patients. As a result of the analysis by PCA, it was possible to visualize the separation of patient’s and donor’s samples into two clusters. The result indicates that this method is potentially applicable for diagnosis of multiple myeloma.

FT-Raman spectroscopy is a selective and safe technique for the qualitative identification of organophosphorus pesticides and is not accompanied by sample photodecomposition. Spectra of 14 target pesticides were recorded, and the phosphorus characteristic group frequencies are discussed. Preliminary investigations of solvent and temperature effects upon the infrared spectra were also carried out.

Low-temperature infrared spectroscopy has been used to examine the systems NH3 + H2O, NH3 + HCl, H2O + HCl, NH3 + HNO3, and NH2OH + HNO3. Hydrogen-bonding in the solid states greatly reduces the reactivities in these systems. Temperatures where reactions initiated in the systems NH3(s) + HCl(g), HNO3(s) + NH3(g), H2O(s) + HCl(g), and NH2OH(s) + HNO3(s) were, respectively, −145, −130, −127, and −125 °C. Infrared spectra of 2NH3•H2O, NH3•H2O, NH4Cl•3NH3, NH4NO3•3NH3, NH4NO3•2HNO3, NH2OH2+NO3−, NH3OH+NO3−, H3O+Cl−, H5O2+Cl−, and H5O2+Cl−•H2O have been identified in these reaction systems.

Exchange Technique

Infrared spectroscopy has been used to show that the surface hydroxyl groups on highly dehydrated silica will exchange with 18O-labeled water. The degree of exchange depends on the sample temperature and is a maximum at about 400 °C, where approximately 65% of the silanol groups contain 18O. The use of the 18O exchange technique for assigning surface-adsorbate stretching modes is illustrated by considering the infrared spectra of BF3 chemisorbed on silica.

Wood Burning

<p>Particulate matter (PM) affects visibility and climate through light scattering, direct and indirect radiative forcing, and affecting cloud formation [1]. In addition, exposure to ambient fine PM is estimated to have caused 8.9 million deaths worldwide in 2015 [2]. Organic matter (OM), can make up more than half of total fine atmospheric PM, and yet its composition, formation mechanisms, and adverse health effects are not fully characterized due to its sheer compositional complexity. Biomass burning (e.g., residential wood burning, wildfires, and prescribed burning) and coal combustion (for heat and power generation) are two major OM sources, for which the impact of atmospheric aging - including secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation - is not yet fully clear [3].</p><p>In this study, we investigated the effect of aging on composition and mass concentration of organic aerosols of wood burning (WB) and coal combustion (CC) emissions using two complementary methods, i.e., mid-infrared spectroscopy and aerosol mass spectrometry (AMS). For this purpose, primary aerosols were injected into the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) environmental chamber and aged using hydroxyl and nitrate radicals to simulate day-time and night-time oxidation processes in the atmosphere. In these experiments, aerosols reached an oxidative age comparable to that of atmospheric aerosols. A time-of-flight AMS instrument was used to measure the high-time-resolution composition of non-refractory fine PM, while we collected PM<sub>1 </sub>aerosols on PTFE filters before and after four hours of aging for off-line Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) measurements.</p><p>AMS and FT-IR estimates of organic aerosol mass concentration were highly correlated (r<sup>2</sup>=0.92); both indicating an approximately three-fold increase in organic aerosol concentration after aging. The OM/OC ratio, indicating the extent of oxidation also agreed closely between the two instruments and increased, on average, from 1.6 (before aging) to 2 (after aging). Mid-infrared spectroscopy, which is able to differentiate among oxygenated species, shows a distinct functional group composition for aged WB aerosols (high abundance of carboxylic acids) and CC aerosols (high abundance of non-acid carbonyls) and detects considerable amounts polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for both sources. Mid-infrared spectra of fresh WB and CC aerosols are reminiscent of their parent compounds with differences in specific functional groups suggesting the dominant oxidation pathways for each emission source. Finally, the comparison of mid-infrared spectra of aged WB aerosols in the environmental chamber with that of ambient samples affected by residential wood burning and wildfires reveals interesting similarities regarding the high abundance of alcohols and visible signatures of lignin. This finding is useful for interpreting sources of atmospheric aerosols and better interpretation of their complex mid-infrared spectra.</p><p>--------------------------</p><p>REFERENCES</p><p>[1] M.
