It turns out that we may have a much greater problem than greenhouse gasses and global warming. Decades ago, acid rain was one of the world’s most alarming environmental crises. Pollution from coal power plants and cars made rainfall so toxic that it killed fish, wiped out forests, and even eroded buildings. Fortunately, governments passed laws to reduce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.
But now, there’s an even scarier problem. And this time, there’s no easy fix. Scientists have discovered that rainfall worldwide is now contaminated with microplastics—tiny plastic particles that may pose serious risks to human health and the environment. To make matters worse, this microplastic rain may even be contaminated with “forever chemicals,” too. https://bgr.com/science/something-far-worse-than-acid-rain-now-falls-from-the-sky-all-the-time/
