Plastic pollution is now pervasive in the Arctic, even in areas with no apparent human
activity, such as the deep seafloor. In this Review, we describe the sources and impacts of …

The discovery of atmospheric micro (nano) plastic transport and ocean–atmosphere
exchange points to a highly complex marine plastic cycle, with negative implications for …

Literature regarding microplastics in the atmosphere has advanced in recent years.
However, studies have been undertaken in isolation with minimal collaboration and …

In recent years, airborne microplastics have been identified in a range of remote
environments. However, data throughout the Southern Hemisphere, in particular Antarctica …

Microplastics are now recognized as widespread contaminants in the atmosphere, where,
due to their small size and low density, they can be transported with winds around the …

Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of
the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine …

Plastic pollution and climate change have commonly been treated as two separate issues
and sometimes are even seen as competing. Here we present an alternative view that these …

The emerging threat of atmospheric microplastic pollution has prompted researchers to
study areas previously considered beyond the reach of plastic. Investigating the range of …

Recent studies have highlighted the importance of the atmosphere in the long-range
transport of microplastic fibres. However, their dry deposition in the atmosphere is not fully …

The presence of microplastics and nanoplastics (MnPs) in the atmosphere and their
transport on a global scale has previously been demonstrated. However, little is known …
