SimpleBox4Planet : environmental fate modelling of PFASs and their alternatives via the Enalos Cloud Platform
AI summary Read the abstract
SimpleBox4Planet is a web application that models the environmental fate and transport of PFAS and alternative chemicals across air, water, soil, and sediment compartments. It supports risk assessment of persistent pollutants that share environmental pathways with microplastics, including co-transport and bioaccumulation in aquatic systems.
This work presents SimpleBox4Planet , a user-friendly web application implementing SimpleBox to assess the environmental fate of PFAS and other chemicals, supporting research into safer alternatives with lower environmental impact.

MicroPlasticFate web application: Multimedia environmental fate modelling of microplastic particles via the Enalos Cloud Platform
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a free web application called MicroPlasticFate that lets scientists and regulators model how plastic particles — including polypropylene, PET, and polyethylene — move through air, water, soil, and sediment on regional to global scales. The tool requires no coding expertise and includes an API so it can connect with other databases, making it easier to assess environmental plastic persistence without specialized software.
A multimedia model to estimate the environmental fate of microplastic particles
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed SimpleBox4Plastic (SB4P), the first mathematical model capable of predicting how nano- and microplastics move through and accumulate across air, water, sediment, and soil simultaneously, accounting for processes like particle clumping, fragmentation, and attachment to natural materials. While concentration predictions carry uncertainty, the model provides a practical screening tool for assessing environmental exposure to microplastics where direct measurements are unavailable.
In Silico Analysis of Contaminant Persistence: From QSARs to Machine Learning Models
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed six decades of computational approaches for predicting environmental persistence of contaminants, tracing the evolution from classical QSAR models to modern machine learning methods, and proposed a practical roadmap for applying these tools to small molecules, polymers, and microplastics in decision-ready regulatory contexts.
PFAS Data Hub: An open data portal featuring geovisualisation
AI summary Read the abstract
The PFAS Data Hub is an open, automatically updated portal compiling European PFAS contamination data from multiple sources with an interactive geovisualization tool, building on the Forever Pollution Project dataset. As PFAS and microplastics often co-occur in contaminated environments, this resource supports cross-disciplinary research into persistent chemical pollution affecting ecosystems and human health.
