At every single location. now some of the concentrations of micro plastics in the freshly fallen slow no were even bigger than those found in the nearby sea so this is raising concern that some of this debris has flown essentially in the air thousands of kilometres to the antarctic, or more likely was a result of humans, researchers were being present on the continent and leaving what researchers have called a micro plastic footprint.— plastic footprint. what could this have — plastic footprint. what could this have in _ plastic footprint. what could this have in terms _ plastic footprint....

But i've neverfound one myself and then this week, a beach cleaner here in north cornwall found one. so, that's it. so, the green dragon. 25 years ago, this ship lost 62 containers 20 miles off the coast. one was full of 5 million pieces of lego. where it washes up now has told scientists much about the ocean currents, but also about how plastic in our oceans can last notjust for decades but hundreds of years. one of the biggest problems with plastic is it doesn't break down over time. it breaks up. and what we mean by that is it breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces. so all of these bits ...

About the ocean currents, but also about how plastic in our oceans can last notjust for decades but hundreds of years. one of the biggest problems with plastic is it doesn't break down over time. it breaks up. and what we mean by that is it breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces. so all of these bits here that are less than half a centimetre are considered a micro—plastic, and eventually these will break up into smaller and smaller pieces, and become nano—plastic. we have no way of measuring how much is out there in the oceans and how much is coming in on every single tide. but if you a...

At the micro—plastics, they will tell you just how many thousands of bits there are. fishermen, too, are finding lego pieces in their catches miles out to sea. yeah, this is lethal stuff. this is the packaging you get on pallets. and much more plastic besides. phil has been fishing here for a0 years and he says he now holds in plastic with almost every catch. we generally pick it up, the bigger bits of plastic, like the ice sacks and stuff like that, they're all in the pots, they've got 40 in a line. and you get a bit of, three, four foot square bit of plastic, wrapped around the rope. you g...
