A Review of Atmospheric Microplastics: Sources, Characteristics, and Detection Method

AI summary Read the abstract

This review synthesizes current knowledge on atmospheric microplastics, covering their diverse emission sources, physical and chemical aging processes during atmospheric transport, and the range of detection methods used across studies. Airborne microplastics represent a direct inhalation exposure route for humans and an underquantified vector for long-range plastic pollution dispersal, yet inconsistent detection methodologies and complex atmospheric aging mechanisms limit our ability to accurately assess health and climate impacts.

Atmospheric Microplastics in Outdoor and Indoor Environments

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination across outdoor and indoor atmospheric environments, finding that microplastics are pervasive in both settings and that indoor sources — including synthetic textiles and furnishings — contribute meaningfully to inhalation exposure risks for humans.

Article Tier 2

Understanding the dynamics and implications of airborne microplastics in atmosphere

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the sources, distribution, and health risks of airborne microplastics, finding that fibrous particles raise particular concern due to prolonged residence in organisms, while smaller particles remain understudied, and calling for standardized sampling methods and long-term epidemiological studies to fill critical knowledge gaps.
