Microplastics cause clouds to form in places where they wouldn't otherwise, which is likely to have knock-on effects on the ...

In the controlled environment of the lab, the researchers studied the freezing activity of four different types of microplastics: low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl ...

Clouds affect Earth’s weather and climate in many ways. New research suggests that the presence of microplastic particles may affect weather and climate by producing clouds in conditions where they ...

Microplastics can act as ice nucleating particles, potentially altering cloud formation, precipitation, and even global ...

To see whether microplastic fragments could serve as nuclei for water droplets, we used four of the most prevalent types of ...

Rather than a potential triumph, the compostable plastics we use look increasingly like a tragedy. Andy Extance looks at the ...
