Abstract: Disclosed is a portable solar-powered system (100) for water quality monitoring and microplastic detection. The system (100) includes a portable housing (102), a solar power generation unit (104), a battery energy storage unit (106), a power management and charge control module (108), a processing unit (110), a water quality sensing module (112), and a microplastic detection module (122). The water quality sensing module (112) includes a pH sensor (114), a total dissolved solids sensor (116), a turbidity sensor (118), and a temperature sensor (120). The microplastic detection module (122) includes a laser diode (124), a photodiode or optical sensor (126), and a transparent optical chamber (128) for optical scattering-based detection. The processing unit (110) processes water quality data and optical signals to generate contamination status. The system (100) further includes a data logging module (130), display module (132), alert module (134), wireless communication module (136), and remote monitoring interface (138).
