"Micro- and nanoplastics are in our food, water and the air we breathe. They
are showing up in our bodies, too. Now, researchers have developed a low-cost,
portable tool to accurately measure plastic released from everyday sources like
disposable cups and water bottles."
[...]
"They created a small, biodegradable, 3D-printed box containing a wireless
digital microscope, green LED light and an excitation filter. To measure the
plastics, they customized MATLAB software with machine-learning algorithms and
combined it with image capture software."
