Summary

This review examines the challenges of sampling, analyzing, and regulating microplastics across Asian countries, covering both indoor and outdoor air pollution. Researchers highlight that microplastics are emerging contaminants requiring standardized methodologies to accurately assess their prevalence and risks. The study calls for improved regulatory frameworks to protect public health and ecosystems from microplastic contamination in the region.

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants that require attention in sampling, analysis, and characterization in both indoor and outdoor air pollution to mitigate the potential dangers they pose to public health and the economy.
