Global atmospheric distribution of microplastics with evidence of low oceanic emissions

Abstract Recent investigations based on sea–air transfer physical mechanistic studies suggest that the global ocean’s contribution to atmospheric microplastic emissions is significantly lower (four orders of magnitude) than previously estimated. However, no atmospheric models or observations have ye...
