Novel Techniques in Quantifying Microplastics in Atmospheric Particles
Summary
This study developed novel analytical techniques for detecting and quantifying microplastics in atmospheric particles, addressing methodological gaps in measuring airborne plastic contamination in both remote and urban environments. Atmospheric microplastics represent an inhalation exposure pathway that is increasingly recognized as a significant contributor to total human microplastic body burden, making robust atmospheric quantification methods essential for health risk assessment.
The accumulation of plastic debris is characterized as one of the most growing and emerging environmental issues of the twenty-first century because there is no place on the Earth that is free from plastic pollution, even in remote places with very limited or none...
