The issue with micro- and nanoplastics

Plastics play a fundamental role in modern living, and it is hard to imagine our lives without this highly useful material. At the same time, the amount of plastic waste in the environment has become a significant challenge

Imptox – approaching the problem

In Imptox, we aim to create a cross-disciplinary platform to design innovative analytical approaches to characterise and measure MNPs in the environment and understand their impact on health.

Our task: Automatizing MNP recognition through machine and deep-learning to detect MNPs in images
