Penn State researchers studied freezing activity of four types of microplastics.

Microplastics froze water droplets at 5 -10 degrees warmer than those without them.

The researchers simulated environmental aging to see if it changed their ability to form ice.

They found that aging generally reduced the ice-forming ability of LDPE , PP and PET .
