Atmospheric warming contributions from airborne microplastics and nanoplastics

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02620-1The radiative impact of microplastic and nanoplastic particles in the atmosphere is not well understood. Here the authors quantify their radiative forcing, finding that they can exceed that of black carbon regionally.
