Micro- and nanoplastics are increasingly detected across diverse environmental media, including the atmosphere. Understanding their properties and distribution is essential for evaluating potential risks to ecosystems and human health. Current research focuses on collection, source identification, transport mechanisms, ecological and health consequences of atmospheric micro- and nanoplastics.
This collection invites original research highlighting detection, characterization, transport, and ecological and health impact of atmospheric micro- and nanoplastics.
