Mass distribution of PET and PC microplastics in the atmosphere of Tianjin, China

Microplastics (MPs) in the urban atmosphere have been widely reported. However, the distribution of urban atmospheric microplastics (AMPs) under the influence of the East Asia monsoon remains unknown. In this study, total suspended particle (TSP) samples were collected, and polyethene terephthalate (PET) and polycarbonate (PC) MPs concentrations were quantified using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry...
