Plastics in our Oceans

Plastic contamination is considered to be one of three major concerns of global pandemics and ocean hygiene. People are increasingly aware of the effects of plastic contamination and some societies are beginning to take action to contain them. However, the amount of plastics produced is dramatically reducing the efforts that will cause damage to nature, which is increasing every year.

Currently, plastic is part of human survival. In the past 60 years civilization has produced a heritage of plastic fragments even on the most remote unmanned coastline of the planet. Discontinuing all plastic manufacturing today is damaging and the nature of the plastic guarantees that it will last for thousands of years.

According to media reports, 20% of marine plastic comes from marine activities, 80% of which are from land.

We know that contaminated waterways are the main source of marine plastic. When rain raids on drains and rainwater pipes, it carries what they leave behind. In addition to the discarded waste, the risk of chemical substances overflowing in our oceans, petroleum products for automobiles, pesticides and chemical fertilizers, livestock farm waste and human waste, and drug residues from overload sanitation system There is a mixture.

Among the many chemical and biological toxins floating in the ocean, scientists are aware of many of the particularly harmful compounds "POP" or sustained-release organisms that may damage the endocrine, reproductive and immune systems I found contaminants.

Floating plastics absorb persistent organic pollutants from surrounding water like magnets, accumulate and transport them globally. This is one million times the surrounding seawater. These are known to be harmful to animals and humans when ingested

Abandoned fishing gear was also found in the ocean of the world. Designed to capture and kill fish, it provides a fatal barrier to the animals that encounter it.

When plastics are crushed finely, it enters the food web. Many animals mistakenly use these small, colorful plastic pieces as food. The animal's stomach is full of plastic and can not be digested. These animals are dying because they do not feel hungry.

Sea birds such as Laysan Albatross are particularly vulnerable to plastic. When the animal dies and collapses, the plastic is released and continues to damage.

Plastic contamination can extend to human-eatable food. There is increasing evidence that toxins related to marine plastics are the cause of human health problems such as cancer, brain, breeding, cardiovascular disorders.

Due to plastic, marine marine organisms are dying every year. More than 100,000 marine animals die each year by entanglement and ingestion of plastics. Gianna Andrews is the author of "Form the Ocean for Human Health" in 2012. Chemical substances in plastics also harm marine organisms. By reducing the use of plastic, you can save thousands of marine animals and clean the sea. There are many questions about our ocean. What is the impact? How do you quit? Answering these questions will explain and explain our marine plastic

We talk about marine pollution caused by plastic products; the main sources of our sea plastic waste are plastic bags and plastic packaging materials. These particles are large in size and are decomposed into plastic particles of 5 mm size called microplastic, causing oceanic microplastic contamination. There are various recommended methods for recycling plastic waste, but not all waste can be recycled, and not all countries can adjust these technologies. Because of the durability of plastics, it takes a long time to deteriorate and deteriorate, causing plastics to be dumped into the landfill, some of which finally flow into the river and eventually into the ocean Reach.

Plastics all over the world are gradually becoming a big world problem. Eight million tons of plastic is thrown away in the ocean each year. According to Laura Parker of National Geographic magazine February 13, 2015, we have 5 trillion tons of plastic in the ocean, "Eight million tons of plastic was dumped into the sea every year." One of the reasons that our ocean is not completely filled with plastic is due to "plastic island". The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the main and largest patch. There are places somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean. These garbage patches are not very familiar to us but are floating in remote areas of the ocean.
