Summary

Researchers examine the interconnected relationship between microplastic pollution and climate change, showing how rising temperatures and altered weather patterns accelerate plastic fragmentation and dispersal while microplastics simultaneously affect carbon cycling and amplify ecosystem stress.

Plastic pollution and climate change are critical interconnected environmental crises that significantly impact ecosystems and human health. Microplastics (MPs), originating from direct releases and larger plastics’ fragmentation, are exacerbated by...
