| Summary, etc. |
Recent findings have indicated the presence of microplastics measuring less than 5<br/>mm. This suggests that these particles may be transported through the atmosphere over<br/>great distances. However, limited data exists regarding the amount, pattern, transmission,<br/>and effects of these suspended atmospheric microplastics (SAMPs) in the Philippines. To<br/>address this gap, a study was conducted to investigate the presence of suspected<br/>microplastics in the atmosphere along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, namely, Taft station,<br/>Shaw station, and Eton station within Metro Manila, Philippines. Sampling was carried out<br/>using a respirable dust sampler equipped with Whatman GF/C filter paper and an intake<br/>flow rate of 1.4 L/min. Nine filter papers were subjected to the picking method. In total,<br/>1,074 SAMPs were collected along EDSA and analyzed for morphological characteristics,<br/>including color, shape, and size, as well as chemical analysis using FTIR; most of them<br/>were fiber-shaped and blue in color, with the highest concentrations observed in Shawn<br/>Station (404.18 particles/NCM). Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was the most abundant<br/>of this type of SAMP, with approximately 36%. A result of 2–18 numbers of suspended<br/>atmospheric microplastics were computed for normal commuters along EDSA that were<br/>being inhaled. This study represents the second documentation of microplastics suspended<br/>in ambient air in the Philippines and the first along EDSA that highlights the potential<br/>inhalation exposure of individuals. To determine the final outcome and health effects of<br/>these SAMPs in the Philippines. |
