verifiedHigh ConfidenceTier A · ≥45μm- •Swapping to grilled breast meat reduces detected particles by ~80%
- •Air frying home-cut potatoes further minimizes microplastic exposure
French Fries
verifiedMedium ConfidenceTier A · ≥45μm- •Cut and fry potatoes at home to avoid factory processing contamination
- •Use glass or ceramic containers instead of paper-lined cardboard
- ecoSwap plastic containers for glass or ceramic
- ecoAvoid reheating food in plastic containers
- ecoIncrease share of whole fruits over packaged snacks
These estimates are based on peer-reviewed research and statistical modeling. Actual microplastic content may vary based on brand, origin, preparation method, and local environmental conditions. This is not medical advice.
Scientific Pipeline
1. Optical Recognition
System identifies specific food matrix and packaging materials from pixels.
2. Dataset Matching
Cross-referencing global research on microplastic concentrations in identified matrices.
3. Statistical Modeling
Monte Carlo simulations account for variance in processing and environmental factors.
What makes PlastiScan different?
High-Resolution Accuracy — combining visual detection with peer-reviewed inference to quantify what others can only estimate.
Transparent Methodology
Quantifying the invisible with rigorous cross-study synthesis.
| Tier | Detection Limit | Detection Method | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATier A: Empirical | > 45 μm | Visual + Raman/FTIR Spectroscopy | verifiedHigh Confidence |
| BTier B: Extended | ~10–100 μm | μ-FTIR | verifiedMedium Confidence |
| CTier C: Micro-scale | 1–5 μm | SEM-EDX | verifiedMedium Confidence |
| DTier D: Nano-scale | < 1 μm | SRS / SEM Microscopy | verifiedLow Confidence |
| MTier M: Mass-based | N/A (mass) | Pyrolysis-GC/MS | verifiedMedium Confidence |
Why Scaling Matters
Research shows particle counts scale exponentially as detection limits decrease. A study detecting at 1.5µm finds orders of magnitude more than one at 45µm — even in the same sample. PlastiScan accounts for these variations to provide balanced “Composite Estimates.”
