Microplastic traces were encountered in clouds
In recent years, the use of plastic on the world is quite increased. However, this situation threatens life as it harms nature. Microplastics are called smaller plastic particles than 5mm and can seriously affect sea life due to these particles. Recent research showed that microplastics from the European rivers have led to the Arctic seas.
Dokuz encountered different types of polymer]
Research in Japan showed that there are harmful microplastics to human health in clouds. Japan’s presence of microplastics in clouds in the study conducted at Waseda University. Researchers who collect sample from Fuji and Oyama mountains at a height of 1300 to 3776 meters, reviewed these samples with advanced imaging techniques. After examining examples, nine different types of polymers were encountered in clouds. [
Microplastics everywhere

The researchers determined that the water vapor in the clouds is an average 6.7 to 13.9 microplastic part in each liter, drawn the gold that could affect the climate of this condition. In the explanation that the researchers did about the topic of Hiroshima Okoci, said: “If plastic air pollution does not address the problem, climate change and ecological risks may occur, and in the future it can seriously damage the environment. However, it is known that people consume microplastics through food and water and breathe them. When microplastics are determined to harm wild life, the bad effect of human cells was observed in laboratory experiments. "
