This paper serves to enhance the current knowledge base of airborne microplastics which is
significantly smaller than that of microplastics in marine, freshwater and terrestrial …

Plastics have become an essential part of life. When it enters the environment, it migrates
and breaks down to form smaller size fragments, which are called microplastics (MPs) …

Petroleum-derived plastics are linked to a variety of growing environmental issues
throughout their lifecycle, including emission of greenhouse gases, accumulation in …

As the research on microplastics (MPs) has intensified, more attention has been paid to MPs
deposition in the atmosphere. This study further explores and compares the characteristics …

Airborne microplastics (MPs) pollution is an environmental problem of increasing concern,
due to the ubiquity, persistence and potential toxicity of plastics in the atmosphere. In recent …

Urbanization itself is a major and furthermost imperative contributor to the release of
microplastics into the environments. As cities grow and develop, more plastic products are …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics and nanoplastics are ubiquitously present in
the atmosphere as atmospheric and airborne forms (PET-aMPs). Using first-principles …

Microplastics (MP) in air have attracted increasing attention because of their ubiquitous
presence. Accurate atmospheric concentrations of MP are essential for evaluating their …

Over the last decade, many studies on microplastics (MPs) have only focused on the marine
environment, and scientist have recently begun to document soil and groundwater MP …

In recent years, microplastics (MPs), an emerging pollutant in groundwater, have raised
public health concerns due to their long persistence and potential ecotoxicity. This review …
