Shape matters Study finds microplastic fibers may travel as far as the stratosphere
Shape matters Study finds microplastic fibers may travel as far as the stratosphere- How far microplastics travel in the atmosphere depends crucially on particle shape, according to a recent study by scientists at the University of Vienna and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen. Although spherical particles settle quickly, microplastic fibers might travel as far as the stratosphere.
