Embedding citizens within airborne microplastic and microfibre research

open access: yesCambridge Prisms: Plastics, 2023
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 ...
