ICBM (2023): Oceans emit microplastics into the atmosphere
Marine air worldwide contains microplastic particles that enter the atmosphere both from land sources and via seawater. A research team led by the Institute of Chemistry and Biology of the Sea (ICBM) at the University of Oldenburg conducted air sampling studies along the Norwegian coast to the Arctic.
