About this document
Microplastic Emissions from Composting Facility by ShyleshNair is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates microplastic emissions from an industrial composting facility in England, finding significant levels of microplastics in both air and compost samples. The research shows that composting processes can fragment larger plastics into microplastics, with concentrations comparable to those found in marine sediments. The findings suggest that composting facilities may serve as a source of microplastics, warranting further investigation into their environmental impact.
