Lumitaw sa isang pag-aaral na kasama na umano sa hangin ng Metro Manila ang microplastics na maaaring malanghap ng tao. Ang mga lungsod na mayroon umanong pinakamataas na antas ng microplastics sa hangin--ang Mandaluyong at Muntinlupa.

Ang pag-aaral ay isinagawa ng mga mag-aaral mula sa Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology, na pinamunuan ni Rodolfo Romarate II at ginabayan ni Dr. Hernando Bacosa, PhD.Nakakolekta sila ng 864 cubic meters ng hangin sa bawat LGU sa loob ng 12 oras sa bawat araw. Dito, nakita na may 155 suspended atmospheric microplastics mula sa lahat ng 17 sampling stations sa Metro Manila.

Ang Malabon naman ang may pinakamababang antas ng pagkakaipon ng microplastic sa 1 particle of SAMPs per 840 cubic meters. "Fashion itself is causing microplastic pollution," patuloy niya."Yung himulhol ng damit 'di ba? When you wash the clothes, that could lead to microplastic pollution in water. When you dry it, that could lead to microplastic pollution in air."

"What we're concerned with is the fact that microplastics can be a carrier of other things like bacteria, viruses, and cancerous compounds like heavy metals kasi pwede sila kapitan ng mga ito," paliwanag niya.
