Occurrence and backtracking of #microplastic mass loads including tire wear particles in northern Atlantic #air

Few studies report the occurrence of microplastics (MP), including tire wear particles (TWP) in the marine #atmosphere, and little data is available regarding their size or sources. Here we present active air sampling devices (low- and high-volume samplers) for the evaluation of composition and MP mass loads in the marine #atmosphere. Air was sampled during a research cruise along the Norwegian coast up to Bear Island. Samples were analyzed with pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, generating a mass-based data set for MP in the marine atmosphere. Here we show the ubiquity of MP, even in remote Arctic areas with concentrations up to 37.5 ng m−3. Cluster of #polyethylene terephthalate (max. 1.5 ng m−3) were universally present. TWP (max. 35 ng m−3) and cluster of #polystyrene, #polypropylene, and #polyurethane (max. 1.1 ng m−3) were also detected. Atmospheric transport and dispersion models, suggested the introduction of MP into the marine atmosphere equally from sea- and land-based emissions, transforming the ocean from a #sink into a #source for MP.

Myles and his team studied eczema "hot spots" around the country and found that #diisocyanates and #isocyanates were the most prevalent chemicals in the environment. These chemicals are used in #polyurethane products, such as adhesives, flexible foams, carpeting and fabrics.

#Medicalcoatings are materials that are applied to medical devices, instruments, or implants to provide them with additional protective or functional properties. These coatings can help to improve the performance, safety, and durability of #medical products. They are also used to improve the looks of medical products, making them more aesthetically appealing. Common medical coatings include #silicone, #hydrogel, and #polyurethane.

"A new plant-based substitute for polyurethane foam eliminates the health risk of the material, commonly found in insulation, car seats and other types of cushioning, and it’s more environmentally sustainable, our new research shows."
