Microplastics Detection in Soil and Water: Leveraging IoT Technologies for Environmental Sustainability

In recent times, the widespread presence of microplastics in soil and water presents serious environmental and health challenges, highlighting the need for effective monitoring and detection strategies. This paper explores the application of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to facilitate real-time and scalable identification of microplastics in various environmental contexts. It emphasizes the design and implementation of integrated IoT systems aimed at enhancing ecological monitoring and promoting sustainability. By utilizing advanced sensors, data analytics, and cloud computing platforms, IoT systems enable continuous and accurate tracking of microplastics distribution and concentration, providing vital information for pollution assessment and early warning. It also examines the deployment of affordable digital sensors, wireless communication methods, to improve the detection and monitoring of microplastics in both soil and water. These technologies using biosensors enable swift data transmission, remote access, data analysis of microplastics and classification based on its size, creates an effective framework for environmental management and pollution mitigation. This research highlights the significant potential of IoT based framework using biosensors in reducing the adverse effects of microplastics pollution on global ecosystems and promotes sustainable development.
