Summary

This paper examines the origins of microplastic pollution, arguing that its emergence is not solely attributable to polymer chemistry advances and cannot be explained simply by physicochemical degradation processes acting on plastic materials.

The article discusses the problem of the appearance of microplastics and its connection with environmental pollution. The authors believe that the appearance of microplastics cannot be associated only with the progress in the development of polymer chemistry and petrochemistry, and pollution with polymer particles is not directly related only to destruction processes occurring under the influence of physicochemical factors.
