The ubiquity of microplastics in terrestrial and aquatic environments has been extensively studied; however, a burgeoning area of concern lies in their presence in the atmosphere. This paper delves into the phenomenon of microplastics becoming airborne, exploring their sources, transport mechanisms, and potential impacts on human health and ecosystems. Through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing atmospheric science, environmental chemistry, and health sciences, this study scrutinizes the pathways through which microplastics are released into the air, their distribution patterns, and the potential consequences of inhalation. Additionally, the paper examines the current state of detection methodologies and proposes strategies for monitoring and mitigating airborne microplastic pollution. By shedding light on this emerging threat, we aim to stimulate further research and policy initiatives to address the airborne dimension of microplastic pollution.
