Antagonistic Effects of Atmospheric Oxidative Aging and Salt Coating Sustain the Ice-Nucleating Ability of Nanoplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how atmospheric oxidative aging and salt coating affect the ice-nucleating ability of nanoplastics, finding that these two processes have antagonistic effects that sustain ice-nucleating capacity over time. The results suggest that weathered nanoplastics in the atmosphere can maintain climate-relevant properties, with implications for cloud formation and precipitation processes.
