Nanoplastics make up most of the plastic pollutants in the North Atlantic Ocean
Summary
A landmark field study documented pervasive nanoplastic pollution throughout the North Atlantic Ocean, revealing that these invisible particles make up a large fraction of all plastic debris in open ocean waters. The findings raise urgent questions about what nanoscale plastics are doing to marine ecosystems and the seafood that humans ultimately consume.
