The Plastisphere: Ocean Pollution May Trigger Next Pandemic Every year, no less than 10 million tons of plastic waste are dumped into oceans - Andrey Nekrasov/ZUMA Wire       Plastic pollution has contaminated our oceans to the point where a new ecological niche of anthropic origin has been coined: the plastisphere . The bacteria that proliferate there could lead to the next health crisis. Study after study, and each more damning than the last. A study from December 2019 in Scientific Reports described how a region of the world as remote as Easter Island (Rapa Nui) could have its coasts littered with plastic debris: marine currents connect it to an intensive fishing zone off the coast of Peru and the densely populated coastal areas of the South American continent.
