Summary
This study examined microplastic deposition in Croatian karst caves with minimal human visitation, finding unexpectedly high concentrations of airborne-transported particles in cave sediments. The findings demonstrate that even isolated subsurface environments receive substantial microplastic inputs through atmospheric circulation, confirming near-ubiquitous environmental contamination.
