New Study: Microplastics Affecting Weather

A new study suggests microplastics could be altering weather patterns on a large scale

Microplastics affect cloud-formation and could be altering weather patterns, according to new research.

Scientists showed that microplastics can have the same effects on cloud-formation as dust particles, which help water droplets form ice crystals in the atmosphere at warmer temperatures. Microplastics can allow ice crystals to form at temperatures betw…
