摘      要：Microplastics are posing the potential threats to the Earth s ***,airborne microplastics were calculated to cause positive net radiative forcing *** to the light-absorbing properties,microplastics may have the effects on the snow/ice surface albedos in the cryospheric regions,which may further enhance the cryospheric melting under the rapid global warming and increasing plastic pollutants dropped into the *** suggested to urgently hasten the systematic studies on microplastics effects on the radiative forcing across the cryospheric regions,and evaluated the possible impact on cryospheric melting in the future.
