White and wonderful? Microplastics prevail in snow from the Alps to the Arctic
Science Advances, 2019 We detect microplastics in European and Arctic snow, highlighting the importance of atmospheric transport as a pathway. Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous, and considerable quantities prevail even in the Arctic; however, there are large knowledge gaps ...
