Homes under the microscope: Results from a pilot community science approach to measure airborne microfibres in the home (2025)
Journal Article

Non-natural airborne microfibres are an emerging concern in indoor air pollution, yet relatively little is known about their sources or concentrations. This is particularly relevant in home environments, where individuals spend significant amounts of...

Co-creation in citizen science: Sharing learnings and good practice from an indoor, airborne microplastics project (2025)
Journal Article

HOMEs was a citizen science exploratory project, aimed at investigating the presence of airborne microplastics in people's homes. Participants placed passive samplers in their homes, using low-cost microscopes to see and take pictures of their sample...

Airborne microplastic monitoring: Developing a simplified outdoor sampling approach using pollen monitoring equipment (2024)
Journal Article

A novel, yet simple, airborne microplastic (MP) sampling approach using global pollen monitoring equipment was applied to identify, characterise and quantify outdoor airborne MPs for the first time. Modification of Burkard spore trap tape adhesive pr... Read More about Airborne microplastic monitoring: Developing a simplified outdoor sampling approach using pollen monitoring equipment.

Insights into technical challenges in the field of microplastic pollution through the lens of early career researchers (ECRs) and a proposed pathway forward (2023)
Journal Article

Early career researchers (ECR) face a series of challenges related to the inherent difficulties of starting their careers. Microplastic (MP) research is a topical field attracting high numbers of ECRs with diverse backgrounds and expertise from a wea...
