Journal ArticleDOI

Atmospheric transport and deposition of microplastics in a remote mountain catchment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the observations of atmospheric microplastic deposition in a remote, pristine mountain catchment (French Pyrenees) and suggest that microplastics can reach and affect remote, sparsely inhabited areas through atmospheric transport.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atmospheric Mercury Transfer to Peat Bogs Dominated by Gaseous Elemental Mercury Dry Deposition.

TL;DR: It is estimated that atmospheric mercury deposition to the peat bog surface is dominated by GEM dry deposition (79%) rather than wet deposition (21%).
Journal ArticleDOI

Latitudinal limits to the predicted increase of the peatland carbon sink with warming

Angela V. Gallego-Sala, +79 more
TL;DR: This article examined the global relationship between peatland carbon accumulation rates during the last millennium and planetary-scale climate space and found a positive relationship between carbon accumulation and cumulative photosynthetically active radiation during the growing season for mid-to high-latitude peatlands in both hemispheres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Examination of the ocean as a source for atmospheric microplastics.

TL;DR: First evidence of MP particles are shown in marine boundary layer air samples on the French Atlantic coast during both onshore and offshore winds, indicating a potential for MPs to be released from the marine environment into the atmosphere by sea-spray giving a globally extrapolated figure of 136000 ton/yr blowing on shore.
