5. Temporal Dynamics In Microplastics Within An Indoor Environment: Insights From A Novel Tape-Lifting Method
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Microplastics (MPs) constitute a risk to both human and environmental health. It is vital to identify sources and pathways to take the necessary action and limit the number of MPs in our environments.
