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
