MAAI -YOLOv11s: A novel microplastic and nanoplastic particle classification and detection method in microfluidic chip with an improved YOLOv11s model

Rapid and low-cost detection platform for micro- and nanoplastics

Application of Artificial Intelligence to Improve Microplastic Identification

AI summary · Read the abstract

This review examines how artificial intelligence -- including machine learning and computer vision approaches -- can improve the identification, classification, and measurement of microplastics during environmental sampling and analysis. AI-assisted identification addresses a major bottleneck in microplastic research by reducing the time and expertise required to process large sample volumes, enabling faster and more consistent data generation needed to assess human health exposure at scale.

MicroDetect-Net (MDN): Leveraging Deep Learning to Detect Microplastics in Clam Blood, a Step Towards Human Blood Analysis

AI summary · Read the abstract

Researchers developed MicroDetect-Net, a deep learning model trained to detect microplastics in clam blood, demonstrating a pathway toward automated detection in human blood samples as plastic production exceeds 368 million tons annually and microplastics are found across all environmental and biological matrices.

Deep Learning Approaches for Microplastic Identification in Microscopic Water Samples

Role of Machine Learning and Machine Vision on Microplastics

AI summary · Read the abstract

Scientists are teaching computers to spot and identify microplastics in samples of water, soil, and food much faster than humans can by eye, this review paper explains how these AI tools work and where they still fall short. Faster, more accurate detection matters because it could help researchers track how much plastic contamination is getting into our environment and food supply, which is an important step toward understanding potential health risks. The technology still needs better cameras, shared databases, and standardized methods before it can be reliably used everywhere.
