Summary

Researchers reviewed how artificial intelligence can improve detection and analysis of atmospheric microplastics, which travel long distances and pose unavoidable human exposure risks. AI-based tools offer promising advances in identifying plastic particles and associated chemical contaminants across diverse environmental matrices.

Models

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles ranging from 0.1 µm to 5 mm in size, and present in all environments, leading to unavoidable human exposure. Atmospheric microplastics can travel long distances, reaching areas such as mountain ranges, remote...
