New Study Reveals Higher Microplastics in London Air Compared to Other Cities
King’s College London, via Phys.org / December 31, 2019Researchers from King’s have carried out the first study of microplastics in the atmosphere in London to determine what people within the city might be exposed to and where this comes from.
In the study published today in Environment International, they found that microplastics are present in the air in London at higher abundances than any other major city examined so far.

Researchers used a rain gauge with a funnelled surface to collect atmospheric deposition (dust naturally settling out of the atmosphere) in central London during winter 2018. This was filtered and analysed using a specialist instrument which detects unique chemical ‘fingerprints’ of the particles to identify their composition.
