Researchers in France said this week that they found thousands and thousands of microplastic particles raining down on a secluded spot in the Pyrenees, 75 miles from the nearest city. Their study, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, suggests that microplastics - long known as a source of water pollution - may also travel by air, spreading their ill effects far from dense population centers.
