Answer:
Most microplastics found on Mount Everest came from synthetic fibres, including polyester and acrylic, which are used to make the clothes and gear that trekkers rely on. Just walking around for 20 minutes, washing our clothes or opening a plastic bottle can release microplastics into the environment
With the increasing number of tourists comes a growing amount of rubbish left behind on mountains: food wrappers, climbing gear, oxygen cylinders, and even the bodies of climbers who died along the way. The frigid temperatures mean trash does not biodegrade.
