Neural Environmental Microplastic Analysis & Prediction (NEMAP)

NEMAP was developed in response to proposed cuts to NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, aiming to continue prediction efforts and live forecasting. Built on the study 'Predicting Marine Microplastic Density via Spatiotemporal Deep Learning,' published in IEEE Xplore.

Microplastic Pollution impacts everyone.

Those found with microplastics in their fatty plaques were correlated with a four times greater risk of major complications.

Living near heavily microplastic-polluted waters along the United States coastline may significantly raise the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, stroke, and coronary artery disease.

Studies in cell cultures, marine wildlife, and animal models indicate that microplastics can cause oxidative damage, DNA damage, and changes in gene activity, known risks for cancer development.
