Those who have been in wonder why plastics is found in salt from land as well as in the blood of people from Amazonian tribes will now be provided with an explanation. Plastic particles have been detected in rain water from the Rocky Mountains. It is very likely that micro plastics is also spread via the wind and breathed in by humans.
