@allatra.official: Nanoplastics are defined as having sizes less than a thousand nanometers, or one micrometer, and at this size, we actually truly go to the field where these nanoplastics can stay in the air for days, if not weeks, which will allow them to have this long-range transportation. If you emit this nanoplastics from one location, they can travel to a different continent or all over the world to other locations within a few weeks, because they can stay afloat in the air. - Yue Zhang, PhD, Assistant Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, Texas A&M University Watch the full podcast: The Invisible Side of Air: How Scientists Track Micro- and Nanoplastics | Dr. Zhang | ALLATRA GRC. #Nanoplastics #Microplastics #AirPollution #AtmosphericScience #Allatra
