Research areas:

My research focuses on optimizing the single particle ICP-MS method and extending its applications for the detection, quantification and size characterisation of small microplastics (<10 µm) and nanoplastics in different environmental samples.

Selected/recent publications:

Extraction and identification of a wide range of microplastic polymers in soil and compost. PROSENC, Franja, LEBAN, Pia, ŠUNTA, Urška, BAVCON KRALJ, Mojca. Polymers. 2021, vol. 13, iss. 23, str. 1-16. DOI: 10.3390/polym13234069
