Summary

Researchers reviewed how microplastics become airborne, travel long distances through the atmosphere, and eventually deposit in remote environments far from their source — suggesting that no ecosystem on Earth, including pristine wilderness, is fully protected from plastic pollution.

The use of plastic products is common in our day-to-day life due to its unique properties. But its mishandling and poor waste management lead to its accumulation in the environment. In the environment, it may degrade by different environmental factors such as...
