Appraisal of microplastic pollution and its related risks for urban indoor environment in Bangladesh using machine learning and diverse risk evolution indices.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
The widespread presence of Microplastics (MPs) is increasing in the indoor environment due to increasing annual plastic usage, which is becoming a global threat to human health. Therefore, this is the first research in Bangladesh to identify, and cha...

Applicability of machine learning techniques to analyze Microplastic transportation in open channels with different hydro-environmental factors.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
This research utilized machine learning to analyze experiments conducted in an open channel laboratory setting to predict microplastic transport with varying discharge, velocity, water depth, vegetation pattern, and microplastic density. Four machine...

Differentiating Microplastics from Natural Particles in Aqueous Suspensions Using Flow Cytometry with Machine Learning.

Environmental science & technology
Microplastics (MPs) in natural waters are heterogeneously mixed with other natural particles including algal cells and suspended sediments. An easy-to-use and rapid method for directly measuring and distinguishing MPs from other naturally present col...

Data driven AI (artificial intelligence) detection furnish economic pathways for microplastics.

Journal of contaminant hydrology
Microplastics pollution is killing human life, contaminating our oceans, and lasting for longer in the environment than it is used. Microplastics have contaminated the geochemistry and turned the water system into trash barrel. Its detection in water...

Magnetic Microrobot Swarms with Polymeric Hands Catching Bacteria and Microplastics in Water.

ACS nano
The forefront of micro- and nanorobot research involves the development of smart swimming micromachines emulating the complexity of natural systems, such as the swarming and collective behaviors typically observed in animals and microorganisms, for e...

Nanoplastics in Water: Artificial Intelligence-Assisted 4D Physicochemical Characterization and Rapid In Situ Detection.

Environmental science & technology
For the first time, we present a much-needed technology for the in situ and real-time detection of nanoplastics in aquatic systems. We show an artificial intelligence-assisted nanodigital in-line holographic microscopy (AI-assisted nano-DIHM) that au...

Innovative methods for microplastic characterization and detection: Deep learning supported by photoacoustic imaging and automated pre-processing data.

Journal of environmental management
Plastic products' widespread applications and their non-biodegradable nature have resulted in the continuous accumulation of microplastic waste, emerging as a significant component of ecological environmental issues. In the field of microplastic dete...

Behavioral toxicological tracking analysis of Drosophila larvae exposed to polystyrene microplastics based on machine learning.

Journal of environmental management
Microplastics, as a pivotal concern within plastic pollution, have sparked widespread apprehension due to their ubiquitous presence. Recent research indicates that these minuscule plastic particles may exert discernible effects on the locomotor capab...

Application of machine learning and multivariate approaches for assessing microplastic pollution and its associated risks in the urban outdoor environment of Bangladesh.

Journal of hazardous materials
Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging global concern due to severe toxicological risks for ecosystems and public health. Therefore, this is the first study in Bangladesh to assess MP pollution and its associated risks for ecosystems and human health in...

The adsorption and release mechanism of different aged microplastics toward Hg(II) via batch experiment and the deep learning method.

Chemosphere
Aged microplastics are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment, which inevitably accumulate metals, and then alter their migration. Whereas, the synergistic behavior and effect of microplastics and Hg(II) were rarely reported. In this context, the adso...
