Microplastics detected in clouds hanging atop two Japanese mountains

Plastic pollution in the form of microplastics has been found in clouds surrounding Mount Fuji and Mount Oyama in Japan, indicating that the pollution can spread long distances and contribute to climate change and ecological risks.
The concentration of microplastics in the clouds is high enough to cause cloud formation and release greenhouse gases, highlighting the potential environmental damage caused by plastic air pollution.
The presence of microplastics in clouds raises concerns about the widespread accumulation of these particles across the globe, with an estimated 10 million tons ending up in the oceans annually.
