A group of Japanese scientists have confirmed the presence of microplastics in the clouds.
But they said that it is not yet possible to say with certainty how this will affect the climate conditions of the world.
Japanese scientists have climbed Mt.Fuji and Mt.Obama to collect water from the fog that shrouds the peaks.
It is reported that the physical and chemical properties of the samples have been determined.
There, nine types of microplastics and one type of rubber were identified, ranging in size from 7.1 to 94.6 micrometers.
Additionally, every liter (0.26 gallon) of water tested contained between 6.7 and 13.9 pieces of plastic.
