Figure: how the device works.

Caption

Plastic particles enter our bodies through various pathways and distribute into our organs. Researchers are developing a way to track these particles using wearable spectrometry. By using a spectrum of light, this non-invasive device can non-invasively identify specific plastics directly through skin.
