L2M – Selective and Accessible Water Testing Kit with Focused Microplastics Detection

This project introduces a novel, fast, and selective method for detecting microplastics (MPs) in water sources, alongside other contaminants such as heavy metals. Utilizing a cost-effective microfluidic chip, the solution aims to provide affordable water monitoring while promoting habit changes in plastic product usage to support environmental sustainability.
