08 Jan 2024 --- Recent research revealed that various factors of microplastics (MP), such as type, size, shape and dosage, significantly alter soil properties. Scientists made the discoveries using machine learning (ML) to assess the impact of MPs on soil properties in a stride toward understanding environmental sustainability. The international research team, led by professor Yong Sik Ok from Korea University, uses ML algorithms to assess and predict the influence of MPs on soil properties.
