Estimación de Microplásticos en la Atmósfera Utilizando Dinámica de Sistemas

System dynamics is used to address the problem of microplastics in the atmosphere and their effects on the environment. This approach involves the creation of a system that takes into account interactions between atmospheric deposition, moss retention and impacts on the moor. Factors such as the uptake of microplastics and the concentration of these particles in the atmosphere are identified. The findings cover various scenarios, ranging from initial conditions to improvements in retention capacity, moorland sensitivity, microplastic dispersion and the achievement of a 90% uptake rate by moss. These results underline the vital role in air pollution mitigation. The use of system dynamics proves to be an effective tool for understanding the intricate dynamics between atmospheric deposition and accumulation. By modelling essential variables and relationships, this holistic approach not only helps to determine the amount and composition of microplastics, but also allows for the projection of possible long-term scenarios. This combination of mosses and system dynamics is established as a reliable strategy to address the environmental impact of microplastics by examining atmospheric deposition.
