Comparison of Microplastic Characteristics in the Indoor and Outdoor Air of Urban Areas of South Korea
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers compared indoor and outdoor airborne microplastic levels across urban South Korea, finding indoor concentrations were about 1.5 times higher than outdoors and that building ventilation rates directly influenced particle accumulation, suggesting ventilation management as a key exposure-reduction strategy.
Microplastics in Air and Their Health Hazard

Researchers reviewed the occurrence, distribution, and health hazards of airborne microplastics in indoor and outdoor environments, finding that inhalation is a significant and underappreciated exposure route with potential respiratory and systemic health consequences.
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.
