Summary
This study documented that microplastics and nanoplastics have reached the Tibetan Plateau through long-range atmospheric transport, threatening one of the world's last relatively pristine environments. The findings highlight the global reach of plastic pollution beyond local sources.
Tibetan Plateau pristine environment has been affected by atmospheric pollutants through long range transport.• Microplastics have been detected
