The new discovery of Japanese scientists: there is plastic in the clouds!

Based on a research, Japanese scientists realized that there are small plastic particles in the clouds and because these plastics have not been discovered so far, it is likely that they have influenced the weather.

These scientists first tested the water that existed in the heights of two high mountains, Faraji and Obama, and analyzed it through advanced technologies.

The samples taken showed that there are nine polymer models and one rubber model in the plastic particles that are suspended in the air, whose sizes were about 7.1 to 94.6 micrometers.

This experiment also showed that the amount of a type of polymer called hydrophilic, which is considered a hydrophilic polymer, was very abundant in these waters, that the presence of these polymers makes the formation of clouds happen faster and plays an important role in the cycle The weather plays a role.

On Wednesday, Hiroshi Okuchi, the person in charge of these tests, warned that if the airborne plastic particles that cause pollution in the air are not eliminated, the future climate situation will turn into a disaster and cause irreparable risks.

According to him, when these plastics are placed at higher altitudes than the surface of the earth and the ultraviolet rays of the sun shine on them, these particles are disintegrated and more greenhouse gases are produced in the earth.

It is said that these particles have been found in the bodies of fish and marine creatures that live at the bottom of the oceans.

According to Japanese scientists, this is the first research done on plastic particles in clouds.
