Minuscule plastic particles that are toxic for humans - namely nanoplastics - were found in the north and south pole, showing that the contaminants can end up in virtually any part of the world
that nanoplastics can lead to cell damage and inflammation in humans. Growth impairments, larval deformities and other toxic effects have also been observed in marine organisms.when they are carried into the atmosphere. These particles can absorb and scatter radiation, thus leading to direct changes in the Earth’s climate.
These were all identified in the Greenland sample, while the Antarctic sample only showed PE, PP and PET particles - all common types of plastic. The researchers suggest that these nanoparticles most likely reached their distant locations through complex processes of global plastic circulation that includes re-emission from land and sea surfaces when plastic products are eroded in physical, chemical and biological processes.
