Machine learning outperforms humans in microplastic characterization and reveals human labelling errors in FTIR data.

Journal of hazardous materials
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...

Unraveling Microplastic Effects on Gut Microbiota across Various Animals Using Machine Learning.

ACS nano
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...

Rapid detection of microplastics in chicken feed based on near infrared spectroscopy and machine learning algorithm.

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
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...

Machine learning-based prediction and model interpretability analysis for algal growth affected by microplastics.

The Science of the total environment
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...

Towards A universal settling model for microplastics with diverse shapes: Machine learning breaking morphological barriers.

Water research
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...

Machine learning based workflow for (micro)plastic spectral reconstruction and classification.

Chemosphere
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...

Microplastics and Trash Cleaning and Harmonization (MaTCH): Semantic Data Ingestion and Harmonization Using Artificial Intelligence.

Environmental science & technology
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...

Enhancing the content of phycoerythrin through the application of microplastics from Porphyridium cruentum produced in wastewater using machine learning methods.

Journal of environmental management
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...

From microplastics to pixels: testing the robustness of two machine learning approaches for automated, Nile red-based marine microplastic identification.

Environmental science and pollution research international
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...

Effects of the co-exposure of microplastic/nanoplastic and heavy metal on plants: Using CiteSpace, meta-analysis, and machine learning.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
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...
