Antarctic: Scientists find nanoplastics in Antarctic soil for the first time, including tyre-wear particles, raising concerns that tiny plastic pollution can travel through the atmosphere to Earth’s most remote places

This provides fresh evidence that tiny plastic particles can travel through the atmosphere and reach some of the most remote places on Earth. But how is it even possible?The study was published…
