Role of meteorological variables in shaping airborne microplastic concentrations: Evidence from two metropolitan areas in Brazil

Admir Créso Targino, Erika Pereira Felix, Anggraini Widyastuti, Patricia Krecl et autres

Airborne microplastics (MPs) are emerging atmospheric contaminants of growing environmental and health concern. However, knowledge gaps persist concerning their abundance, sources and drivers across many regions, including Latin America. This research targets this gap by reporting MP data collected using filter-based measurements …
