Reaching New Heights in Plastic Pollution—Preliminary Findings of Microplastics on Mount Everest
Imogen E. Napper,Bede F.R. Davies,Heather Clifford,Sandra Elvin,Heather J. Koldewey,Heather J. Koldewey,Paul Andrew Mayewski,Kimberley R. Miner,Mariusz Potocki,Aurora C. Elmore,Ananta Prasad Gajurel,Richard C. Thompson +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, microplastic pollution near the top of the highest mountain on Earth has been identified and characterized, and the implications for the environment and the people living below were illustrated.

Journal ArticleDOI
Legacy organochlorine pollutants in glacial watersheds: a review
Kimberley R. Miner,Jules M. Blais,Christian Bogdal,Sara Villa,Margit Schwikowski,Pavlina A. Pavlova,Christine Steinlin,Christopher Gerbi,Karl J. Kreutz +8 more
TL;DR: This review identifies alpine glaciers co-located with regions characterized by OCPs use as a significant organochlorine pollutant distribution source, secondary in timing and location to direct deposition, with subsequent bioaccumulation and potential human risk impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergent biogeochemical risks from Arctic permafrost degradation
Kimberley R. Miner,Juliana D'Andrilli,Rachel Mackelprang,Arwyn Edwards,Michael Malaska,M. P. Waldrop,Charles E. Miller +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the current state of the science to identify potential hazards currently frozen in Arctic permafrost is reviewed, including biological, chemical and radioactive materials that have been sequestered for tens to hundreds of thousands of years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deposition of PFAS 'forever chemicals' on Mt. Everest
Kimberley R. Miner,Kimberley R. Miner,Heather Clifford,T. Taruscio,Mariusz Potocki,G. Solomon,M. Ritari,Imogen E. Napper,A. P. Gajurel,Paul Andrew Mayewski +9 more
TL;DR: These samples are the highest altitude PFAS samples ever retrieved and indicate the need for further sampling both on Mt. Everest and in the below-glacier watershed.
