Microplastics from Ocean Depths to Landfall: Typhoon-Induced Microplastic Circulation in a Warming Climate
This study examines the influence of typhoons on atmospheric microplastic (MP) pollution by utilizing atmospheric deposition samples collected during three typhoons in eastern China (2023–2024). MP deposition rates increased significantly during typhoons…
