It is also very important for it to rain from time to time. This not only makes the weather pleasant but is also good for the crops, but just imagine what if plastic starts raining from the sky instead of water? This may sound strange, but scientists have given similar warnings and have also made some strange revelations, which are quite surprising. In fact, researchers in Japan have discovered nine types of polymers and one rubber floating among the clouds in the sky, which is a worrying sign for the climate.
According to the New York Post report, a team of scientists climbed Mount Fuji and Mount Oyama to collect water from the clouds covering the mountain peaks, from where they collected water samples and then brought those samples to laboratories. Where advanced computer imaging analyzed the physical and chemical properties of water obtained from clouds. The analysis found that each liter of water collected by scientists contained 6.7 to 13.9 pieces of plastic, ranging in size from 7.1 micrometers to 94.6 micrometers, or about the diameter of a human hair.
Scientists warned
This study has been published in Environmental Chemistry Letters, in which researchers have expressed concern about the presence of plastic in clouds. They say that this can cause serious damage to the earth's atmosphere in future. Scientists have warned that these plastic particles have come in the clouds due to pollution and if timely attention is not given to it, it can spoil the entire cycle of rain, the consequences of which we may have to suffer in the form of drought in the future. Is.
It had rained plastic before too
However, this is not the first time that scientists have presented such a report and warned the world. Earlier in the year 2019, a similar report was presented, in which it was told that plastic particles were found scattered along with the rain at different places in Colorado, including the peaks of the Rocky Mountain National Park.
