Microplastics (MPs) are currently recognized as emerging pollutants; their identification and classification are therefore essential during their monitoring and management. In contrast to most studies based on small datasets and library searches, thi...

Due to the rapid artificial intelligence technology progress and innovation in various fields, this research aims to use science mapping tools to comprehensively and objectively analyze recent advances, hot-spots, and challenges in artificial intelli...
The rapidly growing concern of marine microplastic pollution has drawn attentions globally. Microplastic particles are normally subjected to visual characterization prior to more sophisticated chemical analyses. However, the misidentification rate of...
Apart from other severe consequences, the COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted a surge in personal protective equipment usage, some of which, such as medical masks, have a short effective protection time. Their misdisposition and subsequent natural degrad...
Environmental monitoring of microplastics (MP) contamination has become an area of great research interest, given potential hazards associated with human ingestion of MP. In this context, determination of MP concentration is essential. However, cheap...
Microplastics quantification and classification are demanding jobs to monitor microplastic pollution and evaluate the potential health risks. In this paper, microplastics from daily supplies in diverse chemical compositions and shapes are imaged by s...
Herein we report on a deep-learning method for the removal of instrumental noise and unwanted spectral artifacts in Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) or Raman spectra, especially in automated applications in which a large number of spectra have to be...
Microplastic pollution of stormwater can be a serious threat to the environment. Gross pollutant trap (GPT) - bioretention treatment trains have been shown previously to treat (inter alia) particulate stormwater pollutants including microplastic part...
Microplastics are defined as microscopic plastic particles in the range from few micrometers and up to 5 mm. These small particles are classified as primary microplastics when they are manufactured in this size range, whereas secondary microplastics ...
A potential risk from human uptake of microplastics is the release of plastics-associated xenobiotics, but the key physicochemical properties of microplastics controlling this process are elusive. Here, we show that the gastrointestinal bioaccessibil...
