This project tackles the growing threat of microplastics in rivers and surrounding cities. It proposes a novel detection method utilizing advanced spectroscopic techniques and electron microscopy to analyze water samples collected from the Shannon River in Ireland and the Zambezi River near Kariba Lake in Zambia. Additionally, Artificial neural network will be trained on spectral data to identify and classify microplastics. This combined approach aims to develop a cost-effective and reliable met
