The increasing use of synthetic materials has made plastic pollution an important environmental problem related to human health and ecosystems.
A major concern is the possibility of micro plastic particles (MPs) being dispersed into the air as particles and inhaled by humans,
which can harm respiration.
In this work is proposed a mass quantification through pyrolysis GC/MS preceded by a dedicated sample preparation.
Sample prep described in this work does not involve, as final step, filtration which let to analyze an aliquot of microplastics with a spectroscopy technique like LDIR (laser direct infrared).
