Scientists from New Zealand sampled 19 locations on Ross Island in Antarctica and discovered surprisingly high concentrations of micro plastics in them. They conclude that the source of these particulate contaminants are not just air currents from other parts of the world, but also research stations at Antarctica themselves. ThePrint’s Sandhya Ramesh explains the findings.
