Marine plastic pollution has impacted at least 267 species worldwide.
This includes 86% of all sea turtle species, 44% of all seabird species and 43% of all marine mammal species. When marine organisms ingest plastic debris, these contaminants enter their digestive systems, and over time accumulate in the food web.
Microplastics have been found in tap water, beer, salt.
Microplastics are present in all samples collected in the world’s oceans, including the Arctic. Several chemicals used in the production of plastic materials are known to be carcinogenic and to interfere with the body’s endocrine system.
Some Facts.
Under the influence of solar UV radiation, wind, currents and other natural factors, plastic breaks down into small particles called microplastics (particles smaller than 5 mm) or nanoplastics (particles smaller than 100 nm). The small size makes them easy for marine life to ingest accidentally.
