Microplastics embark on a global journey, propelled by atmospheric and aquatic currents that crisscross the planet. Rainfall, surface run-off, and ocean circulation serve as conduits,
carrying microplastics from terrestrial environments to aquatic habitats and vice versa. But their journey doesn’t end there; wind, acting as nature’s courier, transports lighter
microplastics to the furthest reaches of the globe, depositing them in remote areas such as glacier zones and high mountains.
