Polyethylene Identification in Ocean Water Samples by Means of 50 keV Energy Electron Beam

Abstract

This study presents a new methodology to reveal traces of polyethylene (the most common microplastic particles, known as a structure of C2H4) in a sample of ocean water by the irradiation of a 50 keV, 1 µA electron beam. This is performed by analyzing the photon (produced by the electrons in water) fluxes and spectra (i.e., fluxes as a function of photon energy) with different types of contaminated water using an adequate device and in particular looking at the peculiar interactions of electrons/photons with the potential abnormal atomic hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), carbon (C), and phosphorus (P) compositions present in the water, as a function of living and nonliving organic organisms with PO4 group RNA/DNA strands in a cluster configuration through a volumetric cells grid.

RNA Identification and Detection of Nucleic Acids as Aerosols in Air Samples by Means of Photon and Electron Interactions

“…Given the current pandemic as a result of SaRSCoV-2, causing CoVID-19, and the possibility of more viruses crossing species boundaries resulting in yet more viral epidemics, the need for detection of these infectious agents is critical to controlling current and future outbreaks of infectious diseases caused by viruses. Here we have reported that the technology for detecting these infectious agents could exist and could result in quantifiable measurements of ambient viral particles [2].…”

“…The nucleic acid found in viruses can consist of either RNA or DNA. The Coronaviridae, for example contain a single molecule of RNA consisting of about 30 Kilobases in length where Kb stands for unit of measurement of DNA or RNA length used in genetics [1][2][3][4][5][6]. RNA is composed of nucleotides, each containing a sugar (deoxyribose), a nitrogen containing base (adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine), and a phosphate group PO 4 .…”

“…Those two elements have a primary role from a photo atomic contribution point of view in the The proposed methodology is based on a subatomic coupled particle analysis (photonelectron) and the subsequent detection on top of their spectra (i.e., fluxes as a function of PO 4 group contamination ppm). The present study refers to previous works by the same authors [1,2] regarding RNA-DNA modeling and their identification through the interactions of particles such as muons and photons.…”

“…The microscopic cross section represents the effective target area of a single target nucleus for an incident particle and units are given in barn (1. barn = 10 −24 cm 2 ) or cm 2 , while the macroscopic cross-section represents the effective target area of all of the nuclei contained in the volume of the material and units are given in cm −1 . The macroscopic cross section can be obtained from the microscopic according to the following equation where N stands for nuclei density…”
