Japanese Researchers Have Now Found Microplastics In Clouds - One Green Planet

Airborne microplastics, or AMPs, may sound like a term from a sci-fi movie, but it's becoming a genuine concern for our environment.

They detect microplastics in the clouds that hang over two Japanese mountains. The findings about the clouds above Mount Fuji and Mount Oyama highlight how microplastics are highly mobile.

Up in the air: Study finds microplastics in high-altitude cloud water

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…
