Researchers from Waseda University collected cloud water from the summits of Mount Fuji and Mount Oyama, as well as the southeastern foothills of Mount Fuji, and found evidence of microplastics. The types of microplastics included polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polymethyl methacrylate, polyamide 6, polycarbonate, ethylene–propylene copolymer or polyethylene–polypropylene alloy, polyurethane, and epoxy resin.
Researchers presumed that since evidence of microplastics have been found in our oceans, it is very likely that they will find their way into the atmosphere and further spread via "plastic rainfall.""Microplastics in the free troposphere are transported and contribute to global pollution.
