Researchers characterized microplastic source profiles and plasticizer emissions (phthalates, benzothiazoles, bisphenol A) from five pollution sources (plastic burning, traffic, agricultural film, livestock) in PM2.5 and PM10 aerosols across the Guanzhong Plain in northern China, providing source-resolved atmospheric microplastic data.
Insight into the size-resolved markers and eco-health significance of microplastics from typical sources in northwest China
Researchers characterized atmospheric microplastics emitted from five source types — plastic burning, fruit bag burning, road traffic, agricultural film, and livestock breeding — in northwest China's Guanzhong Plain, finding distinct polymer and plasticizer profiles for each source. Plastic burning produced the highest diversity of polymer types, providing source-specific fingerprints useful for pollution management.
Insight into the size-resolved markers and eco-health significance of microplastics from typical sources in northwest China
Researchers characterized airborne microplastics and plasticizers emitted from five common sources in northwest China—plastic burning, fruit bag burning, road traffic, agricultural film, and livestock breeding—finding source-specific polymer and chemical profiles in PM2.5 and PM10 fractions.

Sources and distribution of atmospheric microplastics in Northwest China river valleys via land use
This study quantified suspended atmospheric microplastics across eight land use types in Lanzhou, northwest China, finding a mean abundance of 4.5 particles/m³ with peaks in industrial and residential areas. Land use type was the strongest predictor of MP concentration, highlighting urban and agricultural activities as key emission drivers.
Characteristic of microplastics in the atmospheric fallout from Dongguan city, China: preliminary research and first evidence
Researchers characterized microplastics in atmospheric fallout collected in Dongguan City, China, finding that airborne microplastics are deposited daily and that urban areas generate significant atmospheric microplastic emissions.
Microplastics in the atmospheric of the eastern coast of China: different function areas reflecting various sources and transport
Atmospheric sampling at two sites in a Chinese coastal city found microplastics suspended in the air at both downtown and industrial locations, but with different dominant sources — lifestyle and consumer products in the city center versus industrial activity in the industrial zone. The finding that microplastics are transported through the atmosphere confirms that people in urban areas are inhaling plastic particles regardless of proximity to industrial facilities.
Characterization and traceability analysis of dry deposition of atmospheric microplastics (MPs) in Wuliangsuhai Lake
Atmospheric microplastic dry deposition was characterized at six sites around Wuliangsuhai Lake in China from March to June 2021, and source traceability analysis identified local agricultural plastic use and urban areas as major contributors to atmospheric MP loading.
[Distribution, Respiratory Exposure, and Traceability of Atmospheric Microplastics in Yichang City].
Researchers sampled airborne microplastics at 16 locations across Yichang City, China, and found them in every area, with the highest concentrations settling over urban residential neighborhoods. The particles were mostly polyester fibers and came predominantly from nearby sources rather than long-range transport. Daily inhalation estimates were calculated for both adults and children, highlighting indoor and outdoor respiratory exposure as a meaningful human health concern that warrants tighter monitoring.
An important source of terrestrial microplastics‐atmospheric deposition: A microplastics survey based on Shaanxi, China
A six-month atmospheric sampling campaign across ten cities in Shaanxi Province, China detected microplastics in all air deposition samples, including both wet (rain/snow) and dry deposition. The most abundant polymer types were PET, polyacrylonitrile, PE, and PP — consistent with textiles and packaging as key sources — and concentrations were highest in the provincial capital Xi'an, correlating with urban population density. The study confirms that atmospheric fallout is a significant and widespread route by which microplastics enter terrestrial environments far from any obvious plastic source.
Multi-Scale Modeling of Plastic Waste Gasification: Opportunities and Challenges
Researchers quantified microplastic deposition in remote mountain lakes across the Tibetan Plateau, finding particles at all sites despite their distance from urban centers. Atmospheric transport from South and East Asian industrial regions was proposed as the primary input pathway.
Comment on egusphere-2025-1821
This comment discusses a study characterizing source profiles for atmospheric microplastics, including particles from plastic burning, fruit waste degradation, and other common sources, offering guidance for distinguishing emission sources in ambient air monitoring.
Atmospheric microplastic emissions from land and ocean
Researchers compiled a comprehensive atmospheric microplastic dataset and derived top-down and bottom-up emission estimates for particles in the 5-100 micrometer size range from both land and ocean sources, providing gridded emissions data in multiple formats for use in atmospheric transport modelling.
Microplastic atmospheric dustfall pollution in urban environment: Evidence from the types, distribution, and probable sources in Beijing, China
Researchers collected atmospheric dustfall samples across urban Beijing and analyzed the types, distribution, and likely sources of airborne microplastics. They found that synthetic fibers from textiles and fragments from various plastic products were the dominant forms, with concentrations varying by location and proximity to pollution sources. The study provides evidence that urban atmospheric microplastic pollution is widespread and likely linked to daily human activities and industrial processes.
Understanding the sources of atmospheric microplastics
Scientists studied where tiny plastic particles in the air come from by analyzing data from cities, suburbs, and remote areas around the world. They found that no single source explains all the microplastics we breathe—instead, different locations have different main sources, like ocean spray in some areas and urban pollution in others. This research is important because understanding where airborne microplastics come from will help scientists better predict human exposure and potential health risks from breathing these particles.
