One4All: An Open Source Portal to Validate, Share, and Harmonize Microplastics Data

OneForAll logo featuring researchers from around the world working together to solve plastic pollution

One4All is an open-source portal and R package for validating, structuring, and sharing microplastics data- designed to accelerate FAIR data practices.

Microplastics and Trash Cleaning and Harmonization: Semantic Data Ingestion and Harmonization Using Artificial Intelligence

MaTCH deployed RShiny app web interface screenshot

MaTCH is an AI-powered tool that harmonizes microplastics and trash datasets. Use the live app or open-source code to standardize plastic pollution data.

Harmonized Reporting Guidelines for Microplastics Research

A screenshot of the Mind Map (LINK) showing the components and flow of reporting guidelines for microplastic studies. The first nodes branching off of “Microplastic Reporting Guidelines” are the general groups of the guidelines, subgroups follow in bold until the second to last nodes are the reporting guidelines (in italic) and the terminal node is the description of the guideline.

Harmonized reporting guidelines for microplastics studies – covering metadata, QA/QC, sampling, preparation, identification, quantification, and toxicology.

Sampling and QA/QC Guidance for Microplastics Research

A guide of considerations for QA/QC measures associated with sample collection through processing and analysis, to ideally be determined at the onset of a study. Boxes above the dashed line indicate items to consider that are based on matrix and analysis technique; boxes below the dashed line refer to considerations to be undertaken for purposes of QA/QC.

Authoritative sampling and QA/QC guidance on microplastics across matrices, covering contamination control, blanks, study design, and reporting best practices.

Companion Spectral Visualization App for SLOPP/SLOPP-e Raman Libraries

An RShiny-powered minimalist web app to visualize spectra for SLOPP/SLOPP-e Raman libraries developed by Professor Andrew Rate, School of Agriculture and Environment, The University of Western Australia. If you use this app […]

siMPle (Systematic Identification of MicroPLastics in the Environment)

siMPle is a free, open software for FTIR / IR imaging microplastic identification, combining MPHunter UI with automation pipeline.

Companion Spectral Visualization App for FLOPP/FLOPP-e ATR-FTIR Libraries

A small RShiny-powered app that visualizes FLOPP/FLOPP-e spectra easily when not using instrument software.

Microplastics separation + detection method for secondary school students using nile red

A low-cost, classroom-ready fluorescence method using Nile Red lets students and citizen scientists detect microplastics in local sediments—bringing hands-on STEM learning and community monitoring together.

Low-cost portable microplastic detection system integrating nile red fluorescence staining with YOLOv8-based deep learning

A a low-cost portable microplastic detection system combining Nile Red staining and YOLOv8 deep learning. Unfortunately, authors have not released code or schematics, limiting reproducibility.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastic particles in water: EURM®-060

A PET-based certified reference material for microplastic particles in a water matrix. It was produced in accordance with ISO 17034:2016 and ISO 33405:2024.
