    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Published in Science of The Total Environment,&amp;nbsp;Volume 859, Part 2, 10 February 2023, 160038&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ongoing efforts focus on quantifying plastic pollution and describing and estimating the related magnitude of exposure&amp;nbsp;and impacts on human and environmental health. Data gathered during such work usually follows a receptor perspective.&amp;nbsp;However, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) represents an emitter perspective. This study examines existing data gathering&amp;nbsp;and reporting approaches for field and laboratory studies on micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) exposure and&amp;nbsp;effects relevant to LCA data inputs. The outcomes indicate that receptor perspective approaches do not typically&amp;nbsp;provide suitable or sufficiently harmonised data. Improved design is needed in the sampling, testing and recording&amp;nbsp;of results using harmonised, validated and comparable methods, with more comprehensive reporting of relevant&amp;nbsp;data. We propose a three-level set of requirements for data recording and reporting to increase the potential for LCA&amp;nbsp;studies and models to utilise data gathered in receptor-oriented studies. We show for which purpose such data can&amp;nbsp;be used as inputs to LCA, particularly in life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) methods. Implementing these requirements&amp;nbsp;will facilitate proper integration of the potential environmental impacts of plastic losses from human activity&amp;nbsp;(e.g. litter) into LCA. Then, the impacts of plastic emissions can eventually be connected and compared with other&amp;nbsp;environmental issues related to anthropogenic activities.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
