A SYSTEM FOR DETECTING PLASTICS, MACRO-PLASTICS, MICRO-PLASTICS AND NANO-PLASTICS IN A MARITIME, ESTUARY OR RIVER ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a system (100) for detecting plastics, macro-plastics, micro-plastics and nano-plastics in a maritime, estuary or river environment. The system (100) comprises a plurality of detection devices (101a, 101b, 101c) for detecting the plastics, the macro-plastics, the micro-plastics and the nano-plastics in the environment, the detection devices (101a, 101b, 101c) being configured for detection using different detection wavelengths. The system (100) further comprises a data processing device (103), comprising a communication interface (104) and a processor (105). The communication interface (104) is configured to receive detection signals from the plurality of detection devices (101a, 101b, 101c). The processor (105) is configured to determine locations of the plastics, the macro-plastics, the micro-plastics and the nano-plastics in the environment upon the basis of the received detection signals within a common coordinate system.
