Microplastics may affect how Arctic sea ice forms and melts
2019
Nicolas‐Xavier Geilfus
Summary
A commentary highlights that rising levels of ocean microplastics may be altering the physical and chemical properties of Arctic sea ice, though more research is urgently needed to understand how this could affect polar ecosystems and climate feedbacks.
Study Type
Environmental
Levels of microplastics in the ocean are rising. More study is needed to figure out how these microplastics affect the qualities and properties of sea ice, and what the potential impact may be.
