It's #CleanAirDay today and here at @MicroscopeHomes we are counting airborne microfibres sampled by our #citizenscientists. Microfibres and microplastics from textiles are an important, but poorly understood, type of indoor air pollution.

Wow, what an amazing response! Through @MicropscopeHomes 112 people will measure airborne #microplastics in their homes. This data will build an understanding of how many airborne microplastics there are, what they are made of and how we can reduce them.
