Emerging Airborne Pollutants: Unveiling the Threat of Microplastics

Abstract

Itsuki Takeuchi*

Microplastics, tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in size, have emerged as a concerning class of airborne pollutants with far-reaching implications for environmental and human health. This article provides an overview of the sources, distribution, and potential impacts of airborne microplastics. It explores the pathways through which these particles enter the atmosphere and examines their interactions with atmospheric components. Additionally, the article discusses the potential risks posed by inhalation of microplastics to human respiratory health and the broader environment. The article highlights the need for comprehensive research, innovative monitoring techniques, and effective mitigation strategies to address the growing threat of airborne microplastics.
