АРХІТЕКТУРА ГЕОІНФОРМАЦІЙНОЇ СИСТЕМИ ДЛЯ МОНІТОРИНГУ ТА МОДЕЛЮВАННЯ ПОШИРЕННЯ МІКРОПЛАСТИЧНИХ МАС У ПОВІТРІ
Summary
Researchers proposed a geoinformation system (GIS) architecture for comprehensive monitoring and modeling of microplastic dispersion in air, describing software and hardware components including an air sampling unit, a dispersion modeling system, and mathematical models for pollution spread simulation.
The article explores the problem of uncontrolled microplastic spread in the air and its disintegration. It reviews existing studies and publications focused on detecting, monitoring, and visualizing the distribution of microplastic particles. A universal geoinformation system architecture is proposed for comprehensive monitoring and modeling of microplastic spread in the air. The article describes both the software and hardware components of the system, including an air sampling unit, a modeling system for microplastic dispersion, as well as the mathematical component for pollution spread modeling. The system is designed around a portable station equipped with sensors that measure airborne particles, alongside a web interface for data visualization and analysis. The station continuously gathers data on microplastic concentrations in the air and transmits it to cloud storage for further processing and pollution modeling. The web interface allows users to visualize spatial pollution patterns and configure system parameters. Article also details the architecture of the portable station used for air sampling, including the integration of its hardware components and software. The system enables real-time monitoring, prediction of microplastic dispersion, and provides geographic data on pollution zones. The proposed architecture leverages cloud technologies, ensuring scalability, flexibility, and seamless integration with other hardware and software solutions.

The potentiality of GIS for assessing soil pollution – A review
Not relevant to microplastics — this review examines how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be applied to assess and map soil pollution from heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants, with no substantive microplastics content.
A global atmospheric microplastics dataset and model-assisted insights into their atmospheric emissions
Scientists created the first global map of tiny plastic particles floating in our air and found they're everywhere—even in remote areas far from cities. These microscopic plastic bits can travel huge distances through the atmosphere and may pose health risks because they can carry harmful chemicals into our lungs when we breathe. The research shows that most airborne microplastics come from land-based sources rather than the ocean, helping us better understand how plastic pollution spreads around the planet.
