Scientists have detected nanoplastics in Antarctic soil for the first time, specifically in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. The study, published in Scientific Reports, identified fragments from tyre wear and common plastics, suggesting both local human activity and long-range atmospheric transport as sources. This discovery highlights the pervasive nature of plastic pollution, reaching even remote, pristine environments.
