Résumé
The pervasiveness of microfibers, including fibrous microplastics indoors and outdoors, has drawn attention. However, some places such as the dining environment that are closely related to human diet and health have been neglected. Here, we characterized short-term microfiber fallout in different dining spots and conducted long-term monitoring in a college cafeteria. The results showed that the microfiber abundance of restaurants during the peak hour of dinnertime (75 ± 19 MFs/plate/meal) was approximately two times that of households (36 ± 23 MFs/plate/meal). The high microfiber abundance was positively correlated with strong human activities (i.e., sitting rate of people) in restaurants, which was verified by the kinetics data of the cafeteria (R
