Microplastic pollution of the oceans has had deadly consequences worldwide. However, few realize that micro-nanoplastics (MnPs) are also a significant contributor to airborne pollution. Indoor air pollution can be up to 100 times higher than outdoor air pollution. Every day, we inhale up to 130 small plastic particulates, and the concentration of MnPs in all environments is steadily rising. Several studies have investigated the presence of MnPs in aquatic environments, but few have focused on indoor airborne MnPs. Here, we discuss the synthesis of micro-nanoplastic routes of different polymers to prepare nanoplastics for examination of their toxicological effects by in vivo and in vitro testing. We also propose a unique remediation method to control MnP particles in indoor air using DTA (detect, trap, and adsorb) technology.
