The Occurrence of Microplastics in the Indoor Environment
Summary
This book examines the occurrence of microplastics in indoor environments, covering sources, accumulation patterns, and implications for human exposure. It compiles research on indoor microplastic contamination as a growing area of concern distinct from outdoor and aquatic pollution.

Exploring microplastics sources in indoor environments, an emerging pollutant
This study explores microplastics as an emerging indoor air and surface pollutant, examining the diverse sources that contribute to microplastic presence within indoor environments and characterizing the pathways by which people may be exposed.
Microplastics in the indoor environment
This review examines microplastic contamination in indoor environments, noting that people are continuously exposed to microplastics in household dust, air, and from flooring, furniture, and textiles. Indoor microplastic exposure is a key route of human inhalation and ingestion that has received less attention than environmental contamination.
Review of microplastics in the indoor environment: Distribution, human exposure and potential health impacts
This review comprehensively analyzes microplastic contamination in indoor environments, where most people spend the majority of their time. Researchers found that indoor exposure to microplastics comes from multiple sources including dust, air, drinking water, and food, with finer particles posing the greatest concern because they can enter the bloodstream and organs. The findings suggest that indoor microplastic exposure represents a meaningful but understudied health risk that requires further research into mitigation strategies.
Microplastics in Environment
This book provides a comprehensive overview of microplastic pollution — covering where microplastics come from, how they spread through oceans, soils, and indoor air, the challenges of detecting them, and strategies for removing or reducing them. It serves as a reference for researchers and policymakers working to understand and address one of the most widespread environmental contaminants of our time.
Occurrence, human exposure, and risk of microplastics in the indoor environment
This review examines the often-overlooked issue of microplastic contamination in indoor environments, where people spend up to 90 percent of their time. Researchers found that indoor microplastic concentrations can be substantial, originating from synthetic textiles, furniture, and building materials. The study highlights a significant gap in understanding human microplastic exposure and calls for more research on the health risks of breathing in and ingesting these particles at home and work.
