Project Description
This collaborative research initiative aims to develop a novel and cost-effective approach for in-situ detection and monitoring of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments. The project utilizes the Electrical Sensing Zone (ESZ) method enhanced by machine learning (ML) techniques to improve accuracy, data interpretation, and real-time analysis. Ultimately, this innovation seeks to support water environment protection and sustainable development across developing countries within the Belt and Road region.
