Microplastics floating in the Earth's atmosphere could have a significant impact on global warming, according to a new study. However, climate models do not yet account for this.
A team of US and Chinese researchers have confirmed that fine particles of plastic suspended in the air are capable of absorbing sunlight. This would cause an increase in ambient air on a global scale, unfortunately contributing to the current global warming. A proven contribution of microplastics As plastic is a [...]
Scientists have said that micro- and nanoplastics have been able to absorb atmospheric heat, thus contributing to global warming. According to researchers, light particles reflect light, but darker particles absorb heat and radiation, reports Live Science. It is known that the microplastics penetrate literally everywhere, contaminating the ecosystem and accumulating in humans and animals. Scientists have long known that plastic is also released …
