edinelsonsaldanha-cloud/Microplastics-Water-Calculator---IMPa-ndice-de-Micropl-stico-: IMPa Software v1.0.0
AI summary Read the abstract
This entry is a GitHub software release record for IMPa (Índice de Microplástico), a calculator tool for quantifying microplastic levels in water. It represents a methodological contribution to standardizing how researchers measure and compare microplastic contamination in water bodies.
First stable release of the IMPa Software for microplastic analysis.

A modular computational framework for integrated microplastic data analysis and environmental monitoring
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers built a free, open-source computer program called IMPa to help measure and analyze microplastic pollution data, combining particle counts, size, and area measurements in one system. Tested on river data and simulated datasets of up to one million particles, the tool processed information efficiently and identified patterns not visible when only counting particles.
One tool to test it all: The harmonized analysis of microplastics by siMPle
AI summary Read the abstract
This meta-analysis introduces a harmonized software tool called siMPle for analyzing microplastics using spectroscopy, addressing the major problem of inconsistent methods across studies. Standardized analysis tools are essential because without them, scientists cannot reliably compare microplastic contamination levels across different locations, making it harder to assess the true scope of human exposure.
Microplastic Spectral Analysis App 3
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists have released a free software tool that helps researchers identify and analyze microplastic particles found in samples like water, food, or even human tissue. This matters because accurately detecting microplastics is the first step toward understanding how much of this pollution we're actually exposed to and what it might mean for our health—but note this is a data analysis tool, not a new health finding itself.
limpidR: Reproducible Analysis of Freshwater Microplastic Data
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a software tool, not a study of plastics in a body or environment. It is a computer package called limpidR that helps researchers organize, check and analyze freshwater microplastic data, including tools for consistent units, record-keeping and testing prediction models on example data.
ZhiLiHydro/DHSVM-MP-TWP: v1.0.0 for zenodo
AI summary Read the abstract
This entry is actually a software tool, not a research study with health findings, it's computer code (called DHSVM-MP-TWP) that scientists can use to track how tiny plastic particles from tire wear travel through watersheds via rain and rivers. While this doesn't directly test health effects, tools like this matter because they help researchers understand how microplastics from everyday sources like tires end up in our water supplies, which is a first step toward assessing potential risks to human health.
