Even the High North can’t escape the global threat of plastic pollution. This alarming picture emerges from inventory of dozens of studies into microscopically small plastic particles in the Arctic region
Utrecht researchers have fully mapped out how much litter is washed up from the sea onto Dutch beaches, under which conditions it washes ashore and from where it originates. These insights make it possible to predict where and when litter will wash a
A study has found microplastics in 96 of 97 sea water samples taken from across the polar region. Photograph: Natalie Thomas/Reuters The Arctic is âpervasivelyâ polluted by microplastic fibres that most likely come from the washing of synthetic clothes by people in Europe and North America, research has found. The most comprehensive study to date found the microplastics in 96 of 97 sea water samples taken from across the polar region. More than 92% of the microplastics were fibres, and 73% of these were made of polyester and were t...
The Arctic is “pervasively” polluted by microplastic fibres that most likely come from the washing of synthetic clothes by people in Europe and North America, research has found. The most comprehensive study to date found the microplastics in 96 of 97 sea water samples taken from across the polar region. More than 92% of the microplastics were fibres, and 73% of these were made of polyester and were the same width and colours as those used in...
Presumed crash site in the java sea if the weather permits. they are bringing special equipment to listen for the black boxes. aaron is the scientist at the university of new south wales. >> if the debris can be scooped up from the surface of the ocean, it will be difficult to get all of the pieces and we will decide what happened to the plane all together. for the debris that is on the bottom of the sea, it is probably a little bit better. currents are not so strong that they would be able to move entire pieces of heavy plane, fuselage. that's okay. it is really the drifting debris that we ha...
