Microplastics also in marine air

According to a recent study, microplastic particles are not only blown by the wind, but also enter the atmosphere directly from seawater.

Drought alters photosynthetic behavior of plants

The cooling evaporation effect is reduced when plants shift their photosynthesis activity to the morning hours during a heat wave. The researchers have now been able to demonstrate this using satellite data.

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.
