A Review on Microplastics in Indoor Environments: Techniques for Measurement and Environmental Implications
AI summary Read the abstract
This review found that microplastics are widespread in indoor environments including homes, offices, and other enclosed spaces, arriving through air, textiles, and consumer products. Since people spend the majority of their time indoors, indoor microplastic exposure through inhalation and ingestion may be a significant and underappreciated component of total human exposure.
Analytical Methods for Plastic (Microplastic) Determination in Environmental Samples
AI summary Read the abstract
Significant gaps remain in understanding how microplastics distribute and move through the environment, largely because reliable, fast analytical methods for monitoring them are still lacking. Developing standardized detection techniques is essential for generating the consistent data needed to assess true exposure levels and health risks across different ecosystems.
Microplastics in Indoor Air and Dust: Characterization, Risk Factors, and Health Risks
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes global data on microplastic concentrations in indoor air and dust across different building types and income regions, finding that lower-middle-income countries — especially in Southeast Asia and South America — have the highest indoor airborne microplastic levels. The results underscore that humans face continuous inhalation, ingestion, and dermal exposure to microplastics in everyday indoor environments, with documented links to oxidative stress, inflammation, and multi-organ toxicity.
