Recent research highlights the troubling discovery of high levels of microplastics in Antarctic snow, challenging the notion that even the planet’s most remote regions are spared from plastic pollution. A new study published in _Science of the Total Environment_ shows concentrations reaching over 3,000 particles per liter, far exceeding previous estimates. The implications are significant, revealing how human activity impacts ecosystems even in isolated areas, urging a need for action to address this global issue.
A few days ago we published that microplastics are now commonly found in human brains, before that it was in your cup of tea. What the impact of all these microplastic pieces being found everywhere is yet to be determined, but when we’ve had stories like these from the past they rarely turn out with it being really good for us.
