Project
Development of the first global standard for airborne microplastic monitoring
Status: completed
Publication State: published
Abstract
This project aimed to address the growing concern of airborne microplastics (MPs), which are widespread in the environment and increasingly linked to potential human and ecological health impacts. It developed a robust, accessible method for monitoring MPs in air by adapting existing pollen sampling techniques, enabling wider and lower-cost deployment. The project also created automated technologies for identifying and counting MPs using image analysis and calibration reference strips. Through international trials and comparison with established monitoring methods, the research sought to deliver reliable, reproducible global standards for airborne MP measurement, supporting future air quality and public health monitoring.
