Survey on IoT Based Microplastic Detection
Summary
This research review summarizes new technology that uses internet-connected sensors to detect tiny plastic particles (microplastics) in water in real-time, rather than relying on slow lab tests. Microplastics are a growing health concern because they can get into our drinking water and food chain, potentially harming human health. Better detection methods could help protect our water supplies by catching pollution problems faster.
Microplastic pollution in water bodies has become a serious environmental concern due to its harmful effects on aquatic life and human health. These tiny plastic particles are difficult to detect using traditional methods, as they usually require manual water sampling and laboratory analysis, which are time-consuming and costly. Continuous and real-time monitoring of microplastics is therefore necessary for effective pollution control. This study provides a structured overview of current technological advancements and research gaps, offering valuable insights for the development of efficient, scalable, and intelligent underwater IoT systems for microplastic monitoring.
