The amount of microplastic particles in the atmosphere might be lower by several orders of magnitude,the findings published in Nature,comes after a high-profile study,suggested that the microplastics concentrated in the human brain might have been overestimated www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Microplastic levels in the air have been overestimated, but are still a big concern
Microplastics are everywhere, but new research points to a need to standardize measurements of microparticles.
