Measuring airborne nanoplastics using aerosol physics

AI summary Read the abstract

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.
