Journal Article
Jenner, L., Sadofsky, L., Danopoulos, E., Chapman, E., White, D., Jenkins, R., & Rotchell, J. M. (2022). Outdoor atmospheric microplastics within the Humber region (United Kingdom): Quantification and chemical characterisation of deposited particles present. Atmosphere, 13(2), Article 265. https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos13020265

Atmospheric microplastics (MPs) have been consistently captured within air samples on a global scale. Locations with high human activity are reported to have high MP levels. An urban sampling site in the Humber region (U.K.) has been sampled over a 1...

Household indoor microplastics within the Humber region (United Kingdom): quantification and chemical characterisation of particles present (2021)
Journal Article
Jenner, L., Sadofsky, L., Danopoulos, E., & Rotchell, J. M. (2021). Household indoor microplastics within the Humber region (United Kingdom): quantification and chemical characterisation of particles present. Atmospheric Environment, 259, Article 118512. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2021.118512

Knowledge regarding the presence of suspended microplastics (MPs) within the air is lacking, especially indoors, yet the importance of indoor air quality and human health is rising. This study is the first to report MPs within multiple homes over a 6...
