Abstract Microplastics (< 5mm) have lately been identified in the atmosphere of urban, suburban, and even distant places far from plastic particle areas, suggesting possibility long-distance atmospheric transport microplastics. However, occurrence, fate, transmission, effects these suspended microplastics (SAMPs) are all currently unknown Philippines. This study investigated presence suspected microplastic sixteen cities one municipality Metro Manila, Sampling was conducted using a...
Abstract Microplastics (MPs) with sizes ranging from 1 mm − 5 are increasingly seen as a new source of air pollution because the contaminants they take in and interactions have other pollutants. This study investigates dust size fractionation based on weight abundance suspected MPs selected metropolitan areas Philippines-Metro Manila Metro Cebu. The results show that among sampled particles, those grain 250 µm most abundant, followed by 45 150 µm, 125 lowest. Additionally, occurrence...
Despite being acknowledged as an air pollutant, heavy metal contaminants in the atmosphere are not yet well studied Philippines. This study aims to assess particulate matter, mercury and lead concentration, Metro Manila's ambient atmosphere. A one-hour sampling period was used collect data at seven stations using a respirable dust sampler with flow rate of 1.4 m3/min. The concentration determined cold vapor atomic absorption spectroscopy, whereas concentrations were measured flame...
