Summary

Researchers developed a near-infrared imaging system capable of automatically identifying and characterizing microplastics suspended in water, successfully obtaining material identification images without the manual sorting typically required by conventional methods.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics in the ocean are considered to cause a severe health and environmental problems, and they are often evaluated by manual methods. We have developed a near-infrared imaging system to evaluate their various properties automatically. We have succeeded in obtaining images and identifying materials of microplastics set in water.
