Summary
This research characterized microplastic pollution in glacial meltwater streams and ice cores from a High Arctic glacier, documenting plastic delivery to pristine polar environments. Microplastics identified in ice cores spanning several decades showed increasing concentrations in layers corresponding to the post-1970 period of rapid plastic production growth, providing a temporal record of atmospheric microplastic deposition in the High Arctic.
