Microplastics are now everywhere on the planet. Take 1 kg of snow and ice from the Arctic, and you will find up to 10,000 pieces of plastic.
Plastic is falling in rainwater, this is why it is distributed everywhere.
The sailing vessel s/v Adelie, owned by Bjorn Riis-Johannessen and part of the GOES project, recently sampled Loch Ness in Scotland and found over 100 micro-fibre plastic particles per litre of water; microplastics particles are probably 10 times higher.
There is really no need to say any more on the subject; unless we deal with this pollution, it will kill all of nature and us in a few decades.
