Microplastics are ubiquitous and appear to be harmful, however, the full extent to which these inflict harm has not been fully elucidated. Analysing environmental sample data is challenging, as the complexity in real data makes both automated and man...
Microplastics, rapidly expanding and durable pollutant, have been shown to significantly impact gut microbiota across a spectrum of animal species. However, comprehensive analyses comparing microplastic effects on gut microbiota among these species a...

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and machine learning in detecting microplastics (MPs) in chicken feed. The application of machine learning techniques in building optimal classificatio...
Microplastics (MPs), the plastic debris smaller than 5 mm, are ubiquitous in waterbodies and have been shown to be toxic to aquatic organisms, especially to microalgae. The aim of this study is to use machine learning models to predict the effects of...
Accurately predicting the settling velocity of microplastics in aquatic environments is a prerequisite for reliably modeling their transport processes. An increasing number of settling models have been proposed for microplastics with fragmented, film...
With the advancement of artificial intelligence, it is foreseeable that computer-assisted identification of microplastics (MPs) will become increasingly widespread. Therefore, exploring a machine learning-based workflow to facilitate the identificati...
With the rapid expansion of microplastic research and reliance on semantic descriptors, there is an increasing need for plastic pollution data harmonization. Data standards have been developed but are seldom implemented across research sectors, geogr...
Microalgae can produce secondary metabolites like phycoerythrin (Phy). The effects of some microplastics (MPs), wastewater (WW), and light intensity (LI) parameters, including complex data sets, on Phy concentration from Porphyridium cruentum were in...

Despite the urgent need for accurate and robust observations of microplastics in the marine environment to assess current and future environmental risks, existing procedures remain labour-intensive, especially for smaller-sized microplastics. In addi...
Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Oct 23, 2024
Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) and heavy metals (HMs) coexist worldwide. Existing studies have reported different or even contradictory toxic effects of co-exposure to MNPs and HMs on plants, which may be related to various influencing factors. In this st...
