Inhalable microplastics and plastic additives in the indoor air of chemical laboratories
Both microplastics and their chemical additives were quantified within the inhalable fraction of indoor air (PM<sub>10</sub>), using a straight forward mass spectrometry technique with minimal sample preparation. This information furthers knowledge on the hazards associated with indoor air exposure, and it presents a useful methodology for the mass quantification of plastic-related airborne pollutants.
