The production and consumption of disposable face masks (DFMs) increased intensely during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a high amount them being found in terrestrial aquatic environment. main goal this research study is conduct comparative evaluation water-leachability microplastics (MPs) chemical additives from various types surgical/medical (MM DFMs) filtering pieces (FFPs). Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was used for MPs analysis. Liquid Chromatography/High Resolution Mass Spectrometry analyse analytes presented water-leachates DFMs. FFPs released 3-4 times more microplastic particles compared MM release into water all tested DFMs without mechanical stress suggests potential MP contamination originating DFM process. Our first time identified bisphenol B (0.25-0.42 μg/L) 1,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (163.9-115.0 as leachables vary size, with predominant <100 μm, order MMIIR > MMII FFP3>FFP2>MMI. type leachates investigated polypropylene, accounting 93-97% 82-83% FFPs. Other polymers such polyethylene, polycarbonate, polyester/polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide/Nylon, polyvinylchloride, ethylene-propylene copolymer were also identified, but smaller amounts. wider variety higher percentage (17-18%) other (3-7%). Fragments fibres water-leachate samples, fragments, particularly debris polypropylene fibres, most common morphotype. findings are important contributing additional data develop science-based policy recommendations on health environmental impacts associated originated
