Summary
This research characterized microplastics in the atmosphere above a remote mountain observatory, collecting samples over multiple seasons to assess long-range atmospheric transport. Results demonstrated that detectable microplastic concentrations persisted even at high altitude remote sites with no local sources, with particle types and trajectories consistent with origin from coastal urban centers hundreds of kilometers distant.
