Here, microplastic atmospheric deposition data collected at an urban site during the French national lockdown of spring 2020 is compared to from same in a period normal activity. Bulk was on vegetated roof suburban campus Greater Paris and analysed for microplastics using micro-FTIR imaging methodology. Significantly lower rates were measured overall (median 5.4 MP m−2.d−1) than activity 2021 29.2 m−2.d−1). This difference however not observed smallest size class. The dominant polymers identified PP, followed by PE PS. Precipitation alone could explain differences between two campaigns, it suggested that temporary drop human primary cause reduced rates. study provides novel insight immediate impact activities microplastics, thus enhancing global understanding this topic.

Microplastics (MPs), particles with a size <5 mm, are ubiquitous in water, soil, and atmosphere, have become highly discussed environmental issue. Although atmospheric MPs received less attention than soil their possible consequences being examined more depth. This study systematically reviews the sources, transport, distribution, variations of MPs, interactions other pollutants environment impact on human health based literature. The results show that been identified diverse settings such as urban, sub-urban, remote areas well indoor air. These airborne can originate from terrestrial sources like landfills, synthetic clothing, plastic manufacturing, use recycling activities, aquatic resulting bubble bursting. outdoor MP abundance was detected range 2 to 1159 MP/m2/day depositions 0 224 MP/m3 suspended samples, while significantly higher observed indoors ranging 22 760,000 0.4 1583 MP/m3. distribution characteristics affected by several factors urbanization, anthropogenic environments seasons. Atmospheric transport occurs through suspension, horizontal deposition processes greatly influenced morphology MP, wind speed direction, precipitation factors. path atmosphere is studied Lagrangian models conducting backward trajectory simulations estimate linear trajectories at sampling locations discern potential origin travel distance. also interact variety chemical microorganisms thus act vector for pollutant transport. toxicity may be increased release pathogens contaminants into environment, thereby increasing risk humans. Based study, it suggested further scientific research should focus standardization methods, mechanisms, ecological impacts. As could enter body various urgent physiological effects when exposed pollution.

Atmospheric Micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) can be easily inhaled ingested by humans have become a global health concern. With the development of instruments techniques, an increasing number sampling analytical methods been applied to study airborne MNPs. Active samplers passive collectors are used collect suspended aerosols atmospheric depositions. Microscopes scanning electron microscopy (SEM) physically identify MNPs, while Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, Pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) polymer compositions However, diversity strategies has greatly limited our ability compare results assess exposure risks. In this review, we extracted data from PubMed, Embase, Scopus 2018 2024 that reported methods, abundance/deposition Through systematic review included 140 articles, emphasized advantages limitations different for collecting analyzing addition, provided in-depth analysis performance specific across environments. Furthermore, current knowledge regarding abundance, deposition, risks risk assessment models discussed. Finally, provide concrete recommendations standardization methods. This identified gaps recommended future research directions
