  Microplastics detected in clouds hanging atop two Japanese mountains Findings regarding clouds above Mount Fuji and Mount Oyama highlight how microplastics are highly mobile Microplastics have been found everywhere from the depths of the ocean to the ice of Antarctica, but a new study shows they've been discovered in a surprising new place: in clouds hanging over two mountains in Japan. Ta.    The clouds surrounding Japan's Mt. Fuji and Mt. Daisen contain alarming amounts of tiny plastic particles, revealing how pollution can spread over long distances and potentially contaminate crops and water around the planet with "plastic rain." It highlights what is there.    The samples taken by the researchers were so concentrated in plastic that it is thought to cause cloud formation while emitting greenhouse gases. "If we do not proactively address the problem of plastic air pollution, climate change and ecological risks
