Space junk pollution could spell severe problems for the Earth's upper atmosphere as it fills with rare metals, a new study suggests.
Our planet is massive, and the surrounding space is even more massive. Despite that, scientists say that the amount of space junk pollution around our planet could poison the upper atmosphere and have a lasting impact on the climate. Researchers are constantly examining how humankind affects climate change -- an ongoing issue that has seen global temperatures rise significantly over the past several decades.
Cziczo is a professor and head of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University. He continued, “And if something is changing in the stratosphere—this stable region of the atmosphere—that deserves a closer look.” The possibility that space junk pollution could have a lasting impact on Earth’s climate is indeed something important to look into.
