Summary

Researchers examined airborne microplastics as an emerging but largely overlooked environmental contaminant, reviewing how plastic particles transport from aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems into the atmosphere and the physiological consequences of chronic inhalation exposure for human health.

Air pollution affects almost every aspect of human physiology. Microplastics (MPs) are emerging environmental contaminants. In recent years, MPs from all spheres have been largely overlooked. Their transport from aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems into the atmosphere...
