Abstract Microplastics are widely found in water, soil, and the atmosphere, posing multiple threats to ecosystems and human health. Currently, technologies for identifying and managing microplastics remain limited, while the development of alternative materials and policy regulation also face challenges. In Tibet, microplastic pollution has become increasingly prominent due to human activities, atmospheric transport, and plastic aging, with its sources distinguished by unique regional characteristics rooted in local religious culture, such as the use of prayer flags and khata scarves. Taking microplastics as an entry point, this study aims to explore a path for integrating “ethnic culture, regional characteristics, and science education”. It discusses specific approaches to incorporating environmental protection education into high school chemistry teaching, with a particular focus on the status and control strategies of microplastic pollution in Tibet. The goal is to provide theoretical reference for integrating microplastic pollution prevention education into chemistry curricula and for implementing characteristic environmental education in ethnic regions.
