Estimating the volume of macro-plastics which dot the world's oceans is one of the most pressing environmental concerns of our time. Prevailing methods for determining the amount of floating plastic debris, usually conducted manually, are time demand...
Quantitative assessment of marine litter (ML) along the Bulgarian Black Sea coastline was presented. ML surveys were conducted every season in a total of 8 beach monitoring sites during 2015-2016. Eight main categories of material were determined, ba...
Planktonic sea-urchin larvae actively ingest polyethylene microplastics (MP) that accumulate in the larval stomach and can be distinguished from natural food using polarized light microscopy. MP filtering rates were similar to those of natural partic...
Scientists are on the lookout for a practical model that can serve as a standard for sorting out, identifying, and characterizing microplastics which are common occurrences in water sources and wastewaters. The microbeads (MBs) used in cosmetics and ...
Plastic waste second life management requires effective detection (and sorting if necessary) techniques to tackle the environmental challenge it poses. This research explores the application of hyperspectral imaging in the spectral range 900-1700 nm ...
Marine plastic debris poses a significant environmental threat. In order to study and combat this pollution, efficient and automated detection methods are essential. Hyperspectral imaging and deep learning provide a robust framework for classifying f...
Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) present formidable global environmental challenges with serious risks to human health and ecosystem sustainability. Despite their significance, the accurate assessment of environmental MP and NP pollution re...
