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

Microplastic (MP) pollution is of great environmental concern. MPs have been found all over
the Earth, including in the poles, which is indicative for the important threat they constitute …

It has been established that various anthropogenic contaminants have already reached all
the world's pristine locations, including the polar regions. While some of those contaminants …

Recent studies have highlighted the prevalence of microplastic (MP) pollution in the global
marine environment and these pollutants have been found to contaminate even remote …

Microplastic (MP) debris is considered as a potentially hazardous material. It is omnipresent
in our environment, and evidence that MP is also abundant in the atmosphere is increasing …

The cryosphere is the term used to describe the frozen areas of the Earth, including all forms
of snow and ice, which are primarily influenced by anthropogenic pollutants through …

We combine observations from Western USA and inverse modelling to constrain global
atmospheric emissions of microplastics (MPs) and microfibers (MFs). The latter are used …

Several studies have documented that plastic pollution is affecting one of the most remote
and pristine regions of our planet, Antarctica. Plastics of different size and polymeric …

The number of scientists and tourists visiting Antarctica is on the rise and, despite the
management framework for environmental protection, some coastal areas, particularly in the …

Antarctica stands as one of the most isolated and pristine regions on our planet. Regardless,
recent studies have evidenced the presence of plastic pollution in Antarctic environments …
