“…The proliferation of microplastics in the natural environment has emerged as a significant environmental concern due to its potential ecological impact. − Consequently, there has been an increasing need for the development of comprehensive methodologies to facilitate large-scale analysis and characterization of these minute synthetic polymer particles. , Traditional mass-based techniques, , while commonly used, are inherently destructive and incapable of providing data regarding particle size, which is crucial in assessing their environmental implications.…”

In light of the growing awareness regarding the ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) in our environment, recent efforts have been made to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology into MP detection. Among spectroscopic techniques, Raman spectroscopy is preferred for the detection of MP particles measuring less than 10 μm, as it overcomes the diffraction limitations encountered in Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). However, Raman spectroscopy’s inherent limitation is its low scattering cross section, which often results in prolonged data collection times during practical sample measurements. In this study, we implemented a convolutional neural network (CNN) model alongside a tailored data interpolation strategy to expedite data collection for MP particles within the 1–10 μm range. Remarkably, we achieved the classification of plastic types for individual particles with a mere 0.4 s of exposure time, reaching an approximate confidence level of 85.47(±5.00)%. We postulate that the result significantly accelerates the aggregation of microplastic distribution data in diverse scenarios, contributing to the development of a comprehensive global microplastic map.

“…The concept of microplastics (MPs) first appeared in 1972 [1]. Microplastics are small plastic particles (synthetic polymers) with dimensions of less than 5 mm [2]. Some particles decay to even smaller sizes, being impossible to see with the naked eye (less than 1 µm).…”

In recent years, micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in the natural environment have become a severe issue. Therefore, it seems significant to be knowledgeable on the topic. The purpose of the literature review presented here is to describe the general characteristics of plastic particles, their main sources, degradation mechanisms, and the impact of plastic particles on individual systems of the human body. The usefulness and scale of distribution of plastics worldwide is shown, considering the increase in their production in recent years. Up-to-date literature indicates that they may influence the development of cancer, e.g. stomach, liver, or colon cancer. Scientists associate microplastics with the development of cardiovascular and immunological diseases. They also draw attention to the temporal correlation between the increased incidence of the above-civilization diseases and the increased environmental contamination with microplastics in recent decades.
