Summary
This study measured microplastics falling from the atmosphere in the south-central Appalachian region of the United States, adding to evidence that atmospheric deposition is a widespread route by which microplastics reach remote and rural environments far from obvious pollution sources. The findings suggest that even people in relatively undeveloped areas are being exposed to airborne microplastics.
