Summary

Differential mobility particle sizing (DMPS), a technique from aerosol physics, can be adapted to measure and source-attribute airborne nanoplastic particles in ambient air. Detecting airborne nanoplastics is a critical emerging challenge because inhalation is a direct human exposure route, yet analytical methods for measuring plastic particles at nanometer scales remain limited.

Andrea Stoellner explains how differential mobility particle sizing (DMPS) can help identify the sources of airborne plastic particles.
