The issue of marine pollution caused by micro-plastics has emerged and has attracted worldwide attention. If the source of micro-plastic is routine plastic waste and products, they will be located very close to the living environment, and there is a concern about the risk of micro plastic contamination even in the residential environment. However, the actual micro plastic conditions of the indoor environment, and the presence or absence of micro-plastic contamination in residential environments, as well as their concentrations, have not been well investigated so far. In this study, we firstly classified and defined micro-plastic present in indoor environment, and proposed a standard sampling and measurement method of indoor micro-plastic concentration by way of a preliminary field survey in residential houses.
