Source and Route of Microplastics in Terrestrial, Atmospheric, and Aquatic Environments, and Effects of Microplastics on Organisms [PDF]
Objectives Microplastics, known as pieces of polymer debris less than 5 mm, result from plastic particles originally manufactured to small size or fragmentation from larger plastic items. Due to the persistence, microplastics can remain and accumulate in

Embedding citizens within airborne microplastic and microfibre research
Microplastics are ubiquitous in our environment but their presence in air is less well understood. Homes are likely a key source of airborne microplastics and microfibres to the environment owing to the frequent use and storage of plastics and textiles ...
