Plastic Pollution

What is Plastic Pollution?
Plastic pollution stands as one of the most formidable threats to our oceans today, posing severe ecological risks. Plastic pollution refers to the environmental harm caused by the accumulation of plastic waste in various ecosystems, particularly in oceans and waterways. Everyday items significantly contribute to plastic pollution, with single-use plastics being major culprits. Disposable items such as water bottles, plastic bags, and packaging materials are pervasive in daily life and, when improperly disposed of, often end up in oceans and other natural environments. The durability of plastic means that it persists for an extended period, causing long-term ecological damage.

Microplastics
Plastic Breakdown Process
Plastic Fragmentation: Plastic does not dissolve; it breaks down into smaller particles called microplastics.
Environmental Impact: Sunlight and waves speed up this fragmentation, making plastic a long-lasting pollutant.
Microplastics in Marine Ecosystems
Infiltration: Microplastics enter marine ecosystems and water bodies.
Impact on Aquatic Life: Marine organisms ingest microplastics, which harms their health.
Food Chain Consequences
Toxin Accumulation: Toxins from microplastics build up in marine organisms.
Human Health Risk: These toxins move up the food chain and can affect humans who eat seafood.
