Microplastics in urban catchments: Review of sources, pathways, and entry into stormwater

Helene Osterlund et al.

Summary: Urban areas are major sources of microplastics (MPs) and their entry into water bodies. This article provides a comprehensive review of the sources, transport, and control of MPs in urban environments, aiming to clarify the underlying mechanisms. Major sources of MPs include atmospheric deposition, micro-litter, and tire and road wear particles (TRWPs). The mobilization and sequestration of MPs in urban catchments are poorly understood. Various stormwater quality control measures, such as biofiltration/retention units and street cleaning, have been shown to remove MPs to some extent. However, there is still limited knowledge about the efficiency of these measures. Moreover, the research on MPs in stormwater is data-poor, offering great opportunities for further research in many areas.

Critical steps for microplastics characterization from the atmosphere

Luciana dos Santos Galva et al.

Summary: This study reviews the sampling and characterization methodologies for nano and microplastics in the atmospheric environment. It demonstrates that certain characterization techniques are more suitable depending on the origin of the microplastics. Sample pre-treatment is a critical step for accurate chemical identification due to the direct influence of sample impurities.

Dynamics of airborne microplastics, appraisal and distributional behaviour in atmosphere; a review

Iffat Batool et al.

Summary: Plastics are widely used in human life due to their durability and versatility, but improper waste management can lead to their release into the environment, posing potential impacts on ecosystems and human health. Microplastics and nanoplastics may enter the human body through the food chain, raising concerns about organism health.

Atmospheric microplastic fallout in outdoor and indoor environments in Sao Paulo megacity

Luis Fernando Amato-Lourenco et al.

Summary: Plastics degrade into microplastics in the atmosphere, posing a threat to ecosystems and human health. This study examines the amount, composition, and characteristics of airborne microplastics in the megacity of Sao Paulo, as well as the influence of weather and seasons on their deposition.

The atmospheric microplastics deposition contributes to microplastic pollution in urban waters

Jing Sun et al.

Summary: This study investigated the contribution of atmospheric deposition to microplastic pollution in urban waters. The results showed that microplastic deposition fluxes varied with weather conditions and had strong correlations with atmospheric particulate matter concentrations, especially PM2.5 concentration. The study highlighted the importance of atmospheric deposition as a source of microplastics, especially smaller ones, in urban waters.

First insights into plastic and microplastic occurrence in biotic and abiotic compartments, and snow from a high-mountain lake (Carnic Alps)

Paolo Pastorino et al.

Summary: This study found microplastics in snow samples, but no plastic or microplastics larger than 10 micrometers were found in the lake ecosystem. The results suggest that abundant snowfall in winter could be a significant source of microplastic pollution in high-mountain lakes.

Morphological description of microplastic particles for environmental fate studies

Roberto Rosal

Summary: The study introduces a morphological description method for microplastic particles based on lengths of the smallest enclosing orthogonal parallelepiped, with three dimensionless parameters describing particle shape. It also discusses the importance of particle size and the derivation of Stoke's diameter based on 3D morphological descriptors. The study highlights the need for equations specifically developed for plastic particles, especially for fibers, and for the atmospheric compartment.

Microplastics in the atmospheric compartment: a comprehensive review on methods, results on their occurrence and determining factors

Max Beaurepaire et al.

Summary: Although the presence of microplastics in the atmospheric compartment has been confirmed, knowledge about factors affecting their concentrations and transport remains limited. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms involved in the deposition and transportation of microplastics in the atmosphere.

Constraining the atmospheric limb of the plastic cycle

Janice Brahney et al.

Summary: Plastic pollution is a significant issue in the 21st century, with recent research focusing on the transport of microplastics by the atmosphere. Studies suggest that atmospheric microplastics in the western United States primarily come from secondary reemission sources, highlighting the importance of understanding the sources and pathways of atmospheric plastic pollution.

Comparison of Deposition Sampling Methods to Collect Airborne Microplastics in Christchurch, New Zealand

Ella Knobloch et al.

Summary: The study tested four different deposition samplers for collecting airborne microplastics in New Zealand and found that the use of a funnel sampler or open beaker was effective. Fibres were the dominant morphotype of microplastics collected, but only 10% were confirmed as plastic through mu FTIR spectroscopy. This study adds to the growing evidence of the widespread presence of microplastics in the atmosphere.

Dry and wet deposition of microplastics in a semi-arid region (Shiraz, Iran)

Sajjad Abbasi et al.

Summary: Microplastics were found in settled dusts and rainfall collected in Shiraz and Mount Derak, Iran, with a majority of fibrous nature and polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, and polyethylene terephthalate being the most abundant polymers. The study showed higher deposition of microplastics during dry months and suggested distal sources of microplastics carried by air masses from the north and west. Additionally, the research adds to the evidence of the global ubiquity and long-range transport of microplastics in the atmosphere.
