Evidence of free tropospheric and long-range transport of microplastic at Pic du Midi Observatory

S. Allen, D. Allen, et al.

In a groundbreaking study by S. Allen, D. Allen, F. Baladima, V. R. Phoenix, J. L. Thomas, G. Le Roux, and J. E. Sonke, researchers have uncovered the alarming presence of microplastics in the free troposphere, revealing concentrations of 0.09–0.66 particles/m³ and potential global dispersal through air mass transport. This research challenges the belief that plastic pollution is confined to lower altitudes.
