DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4276259
Abstract: Microplastics (MPs) have been found in a wide range of animal species including humans. The detection of MPs in human lungs suggests that humans inhale airborne microplastics (AMPs). Although birds respire more efficiently than mammals… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/atmos15111380
Abstract: Airborne microplastics are emerging pollutants originating from disposable tableware, packaging materials, textiles, and other consumer goods. Microplastics vary in shape and size and exposed to external factors break down into even smaller fractions. Airborne microplastics… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/atmos16111222
Abstract: Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants detected in diverse environments and human tissues. Among them, airborne MPs (AMPs) remain poorly characterized due to limited data and methodological inconsistencies. Although regarded as analogous to particulate matter (PM),… read more here.
