Microplastics 'From the Air' Found in Arctic Snow and Ice
Two groups of researchers have found microplastics in Arctic ice and snow. A U.S.-led team discovered microplastics in ice core samples taken on an 18-day icebreaker expedition through the Northwest Passage this summer. Meanwhile, German and Swiss scientists found plastic pieces in snow samples taken from the Arctic, the Swiss Alps and Germany.
