| Summary, etc. |
Plastic consumption, while offering certain benefits, also presents significant negative<br/>consequences. Plastic production rate is rising despite inadequate recycling and limited<br/>knowledge of the breakdown of MPs. Road dust is a major source of MPs in an urban<br/>environment and no known studies have conducted in the Philippines. This study<br/>investigates the presence of Roadside Associated Microplastics (RAMPs) along EDSA,<br/>Metro Manila, examining their correlation with temperature, humidity, vehicle, pedestrian<br/>count, and deposition rates at three sampling stations: Eton station, Shaw station, and Taft<br/>station. Dust samples were collected using 0.50 x 0.50-meter quadrants, and subsequent<br/>analysis was performed in controlled laboratory conditions. Eton station recorded the<br/>highest number and concentration of RAMPs, followed by Shaw station and Taft station<br/>stations, reflecting the impact of local anthropogenic activities. Among the three sampling<br/>stations, Shaw station exhibited the highest dust concentration, followed by Eton station<br/>and the least dust was collected from Taft station. The study identified 1,265 suspected<br/>microplastic particles, predominantly fibers (66.72%), with transparent particles being the<br/>most common color (29.64%), and majority were in Class 5 size (41.66%). Fourier<br/>Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis of 127 samples revealed polypropylene<br/>(PP) as the most abundant polymer (32.00%), followed by polyethylene (PE) with<br/>(15.00%) and polypropylene isotactic (11.00%). Spearman’s rank correlation analysis<br/>showed no significant correlation between temperature, humidity, vehicle, and pedestrian<br/>activity with the total number and concentration of RAMPs. Despite the lack of<br/>significance, moderate correlations indicate that a larger data set is needed for more<br/>conclusive results. Whereas there is a strong positive correlation between the deposition<br/>rate and the total RAMPs and are statistically significant indicating a meaningful<br/>relationship between these variables. The results of the study contribute to the<br/>understanding of microplastics along EDSA, highlighting plastic pollution problems in the<br/>environment. |
