Phát hiện vi nhựa trong đám mây trên đỉnh núi Phú Sĩ và Oyama
Summary
This Vietnamese science communication article reports on the same study as paper 37981 — finding microplastics in clouds around Mount Fuji and Mount Oyama at high altitude. The discovery reinforces that atmospheric transport deposits microplastics through precipitation even in remote, elevated environments.
Theo một nghiên cứu mới được công bố trên tập san Environmental Chemistry Letters của các nhà khoa học Nhật Bản, vi nhựa đã được phát hiện trong các đám mây xung quanh Núi Phú Sĩ và Núi Oyama ở độ cao khoảng 1300-3776 m.

Vi nhựa được phát hiện trong các đám mây trên đỉnh núi Phú Sĩ và Oyama Nhật Bản
This Vietnamese science communication article reports on a study finding microplastics in clouds around Mount Fuji and Mount Oyama in Japan at elevations of 1,300 to 3,776 meters. The discovery of microplastics in clouds at high altitude demonstrates that plastic particles can travel through the atmosphere and be deposited by rain in even the most remote environments.
Airborne hydrophilic microplastics in cloud water at high altitudes and their role in cloud formation
Researchers collected cloud water from mountain summits in Japan at altitudes up to 3,776 meters and found microplastics in every sample, including common types like polyethylene and polypropylene. Many of the particles showed signs of degradation and contained water-attracting chemical groups, suggesting they could influence cloud formation by acting as condensation nuclei. The study raises the possibility that airborne microplastics may be affecting weather patterns and climate at a global scale.
Researchers find microplastics in clouds
Scientists found microplastics in cloud water collected from two Japanese mountains, identifying nine types of plastic particles at concentrations of 7-14 pieces per liter. This discovery suggests microplastics may travel long distances through the atmosphere via clouds, potentially spreading pollution far from its original sources.
Origins and ecological risk of atmospheric microplastics at a remote background site in Japan
Atmospheric microplastics collected at a high-altitude site were traced to both local and long-range transport origins, revealing the broad geographical spread of airborne plastic particles. The ecological risk assessment found potential impacts on vulnerable high-elevation ecosystems far from pollution sources.
Microplastics in Precipitation: Analyzing Altitudinal Influence on Atmospheric Deposition Patterns
Researchers found an inverse relationship between altitude and microplastic deposition in Central Himalayan precipitation, collecting rainfall and snowfall across eight sites from 445 m to 3,378 m elevation and characterizing microplastics by concentration, size distribution, and polymer composition.
