Synthetic fibers in atmospheric fallout: A source of microplastics in the environment?
TL;DR: The atmospheric fallout of microplastics was investigated in two different urban and sub-urban sites and a rough estimation was shown showing that between 3 and 10 tons of fibers are deposited by atmospheric fallout at the scale of the Parisian agglomeration every year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic contamination in an urban area: a case study in Greater Paris
TL;DR: In this article, microplastic contamination of both urban compartments (wastewater and total atmospheric fallout) and surface water in a continental environment (Greater Paris, France) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A first overview of textile fibers, including microplastics, in indoor and outdoor environments.
Rachid Dris,Johnny Gasperi,Cécile Mirande,Corinne Mandin,Mohamed Guerrouache,Valérie Langlois,Bruno Tassin +6 more
TL;DR: This study is the first one to investigate fibers in indoor and outdoor air and finds that the observed fibers are supposedly too large to be inhaled but the exposure may occur through dust ingestion, particularly for young children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in air: Are we breathing it in?
Johnny Gasperi,Stephanie L. Wright,Rachid Dris,Corinne Mandin,Mohamed Guerrouache,Valérie Langlois,Frank J. Kelly,Bruno Tassin +7 more
TL;DR: The annual production of plastic textile fibers has increased by more than 6% per year, reaching 60 million metric tons, about 16% of world plastic production as discussed by the authors, and the degradation of these fibers produces fibrous microplastics (MPs) which have been observed in atmospheric fallouts, as well as in indoor and outdoor environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond the ocean : Contamination of freshwater ecosystems with (micro-) plastic particles
Rachid Dris,Hannes K. Imhof,Wilfried Sanchez,Johnny Gasperi,François Galgani,Bruno Tassin,Christian Laforsch +6 more
TL;DR: This review highlights recent findings and discusses open questions, focusing on the methodology of assessing this contaminant in freshwater ecosystems, including sampling strategies, sample treatment, and reliable analytical methods to identify microplastics.
