It's Raining Microplastics Everywhere
Microplastics have been found in clouds, potentially contributing to climate change and threatening contamination of the food and water supply, according to a study. Researchers discovered several types of polymers and rubber in cloud water around Mount Fuji and Mount Ōyama in Japan, suggesting these microplastics may influence cloud formation and climate. The study highlights how plastic pollution has infiltrated ecosystems and the atmosphere, with potentially far-reaching consequences for the environment and human health.
