Published on by Water Guardian Research in Science
JAPAN’S SCIENCE Ministry plans to develop a new device to monitor microplastics in the sea using artificial intelligence and other technologies, according to informed sources.
There are concerns about the harmful influence of microplastics on the ocean’s ecosystem, so the Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry plans to develop a device that will automatically measure the amount and type of such waste.
The development is scheduled to take five years, from this fiscal year to fiscal 2022.
