Microplastics found in clouds over two Japanese mountains

Microplastics are already there in the clouds - They are already present not only in the waters, in our bodies, but they have even appeared in the sky.

A mikroműanyagok már a felhőkben is ott vannak - Már nemcsak a vizekben, a testünkben vannak jelen, hanem még az égen is megjelentek.

Microplastics Detected in Clouds Hanging Atop Two Japanese Mountains

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. A growing body of research has also shown that microplastics — particles…
