GAIN ACCESS TO EXCLUSIVE MEMBER-ONLY EXPERIENCES, PRODUCT LAUNCHES, AND MORE THROUGHOUT…A new study found tiny microplastics — sized between 7.1 to 94.6 micrometers — in cloud water collected from high-altitude summits in Japan.
The more we learn about plastic, the more we find it everywhere. Research has shown that tiny microplastic particles litter the world’s oceans and rivers, from the Arctic and Antarctic. Microplastics are in the soils where fruits and vegetables grow. They’re found in the internal organs of wildlife. Scientists have even detected plastic in human blood, brains and placentas.
The researchers think that some clouds would contain more microplastics than others — specifically, clouds that formed over the ocean. “On the other hand, the strong ultraviolet rays in the upper atmosphere … accelerate the degradation of AMPs, and it has been pointed out that AMPs may release greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide,” he added. “This has the effect of warming the earth.”
