Microplastics in Your Home Air: What You Need to Know

Every breath you take at home might carry unseen guests, tiny microplastics and chemicals, revealed in a 2025 study from the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology by Joel Rindelaub and Gordon Miskelly. Using a cutting-edge tool called Pyr-GC/MS, they analyzed lab air and found 0.51-1.14 micrograms of microplastics per cubic meter traced to plastics like water bottles (polycarbonate), vinyl flooring (PVC), and plastic bags (polyethylene), all lurking in your home too.
