Personal Air-Quality Monitoring with Sensor-Based Wireless Internet-of-Things Electronics Embedded in Protective Face Masks

This paper is not about microplastics. It presents a sensor-based air quality monitoring device embedded in protective face masks that measures temperature, humidity, pressure, and air quality index. While air quality monitoring is broadly relevant to respiratory health, this study focuses on electronics and IoT technology with no connection to microplastic detection or health effects.

Internet of Things and Health: A literature review based on Mixed Method

This literature review examines how Internet of Things technology is being applied in healthcare, covering areas like remote patient monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment. The review identified key trends and limitations in current implementations, noting the need for more interdisciplinary research. While not related to microplastics, the IoT sensing technologies discussed could potentially be adapted for real-time environmental monitoring of microplastic contamination in water and air.

Development of screening criteria for microplastic particles in air and atmospheric deposition: critical review and applicability towards assessing human exposure

Researchers evaluated 27 studies on microplastics in air and found that most scored below 50% on quality criteria — particularly for contamination controls and measuring particles smaller than 10 micrometers — highlighting the need for standardized methods before reliable human inhalation exposure assessments can be made.

Development of a standardized methodology for the identification and characterization of airborne microplastics in working spaces

Researchers developed a standardized methodology for identifying and characterizing microplastics in both indoor and outdoor atmospheric samples. The protocol addresses the lack of consistent methods for airborne microplastic monitoring, which is important given the high amount of time people spend indoors.
