摘要:
微塑料(MPs)在环境中的广泛分布对其检测和识别提出了重大挑战。荧光成像已成为一种有前景的技术,可增强塑料颗粒的可检测性,并基于荧光行为实现准确分类。然而,传统的分割技术面临诸多限制,包括信噪比差、照明不均匀、阈值化困难以及天然有机物质(NOM)引起的假阳性。为解决这些问题,本研究引入了荧光成像微塑料分析平台(FIMAP),该平台是一台经过改装的、配备四个光学滤光片和五个激发波长的多光谱相机。FIMAP能够全面表征十种尼罗红染色的微塑料(HDPE、LDPE、PP、PS、EPS、ABS、PVC、PC、PET和PA)的荧光行为,同时有效排除NOM。利用K-means聚类进行稳健分割(交并比=0.877),并采用20维颜色坐标多元最近邻方法进行微塑料分类(>3.14毫米),FIMAP实现了90%的精确率、90%的准确率、100%的召回率和94.7%的F1分数。仅PS偶尔被误分类为EPS。对于较小的微塑料(35-104微米),分类准确率下降,这可能是由于染色吸附减少、可检测像素较少以及相机不稳定性所致。将FIMAP与更高放大倍率的仪器(如显微镜)集成,可能会增强微塑料的识别能力。本研究将FIMAP呈现为一个自动化、高通量的框架,用于在大体积环境样本中检测和分类微塑料。
英文摘要:
The widespread distribution of microplastics (MPs) in the environment presents significant challenges for their detection and identification. Fluorescence imaging has emerged as a promising technique for enhancing plastic particle detectability and enabling accurate classification based on fluorescence behavior. However, conventional segmentation techniques face limitations, including poor signal-to-noise ratio, inconsistent illumination, thresholding difficulties, and false positives from natural organic matter (NOM). To address these challenges, this study introduces the Fluorescence Imaging Microplastic Analysis Platform (FIMAP), a retrofitted multispectral camera with four optical filters and five excitation wavelengths. FIMAP enables comprehensive characterization of the fluorescence behavior of ten Nile Red-stained MPs: HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS, EPS, ABS, PVC, PC, PET, and PA, while effectively excluding NOM. Using K-means clustering for robust segmentation (Intersection over Union = 0.877) and a 20-dimensional color coordinate multivariate nearest neighbor approach for MP classification (>3.14 mm), FIMAP achieves 90% precision, 90% accuracy, 100% recall, and an F1 score of 94.7%. Only PS was occasionally misclassified as EPS. For smaller MPs (35-104 microns), classification accuracy declined, likely due to reduced stain sorption, fewer detectable pixels, and camera instability. Integrating FIMAP with higher-magnification instruments, such as a microscope, may enhance MP identification. This study presents FIMAP as an automated, high-throughput framework for detecting and classifying MPs across large environmental sample volumes.
