Highlights • Microplastics were present in atmospheric deposition in central London.• Comparing equal size classes, levels were 20 times greater than in a remote location.• Fibrous morphologies dominated and polyacrylonitrile was the most common polymer.• Local source areas influenced microplastic levels.
