Microplastics monitoring protocol: synthetic fibres

Figshare 2021
Alessandra Sutti

Summary

This is an educational image dataset and protocol for training students and teachers to identify synthetic fibers in surface water samples as part of a citizen science microplastics monitoring program. It supports a project developed by Deakin University in collaboration with environmental education partners.

This project aims at Beta-testing the "Microplastics monitoring protocol in surface waters" developed by Deakin University in collaboration with Labter-Crea MN and Globe Italia. As part of the project, students and teachers will be trained on a newly-established image dataset that allows recognition of common items expected to be present in surface waters. This dataset includes a selection of naturally occurring particles. These could be of biological or mineral origin.
