Microplastics have light-absorbing ability to enhance cryospheric melting

Microplastics are posing the potential threats to the Earth's environment. Besides, airborne microplastics were calculated to cause positive net radiative forcing recently. Due to the light-absorbing properties, microplastics may have the effects on the snow/ice surface albedos in the cryospher...
