According to a report in the US “Time” Weekly website, a new study found that drinking plastic bottled water may ingest plastic particles at the same time. The study found that more than 90% of the samples contained plastic particulate contamination. By Aopu Media Group and A joint study by researchers at the State University of New York found that an average of 10.4 plastic particles per liter of bottled water that is approximately the size of human hair is about twice the level of plastic contamination of global tap water previously found.
Coincidentally, the U.S. website reported on March 15 that the research conducted by the American OMP Media Group analyzed 259 bottles of water from 19 locations in 9 countries, involving 11 brands. Of these, only 17 bottles do not contain plastic microparticles - while some bottled water contains hundreds to thousands of microparticles.
Where did the plastic particles in plastic bottles come from? Scientists' research shows that: Plastic pollution comes partly from plastic packaging, and partly from filling water itself.
Once again, human drinking water has been terribly and mercilessly retaliated against humanity by nature. Because in the world’s oceans, rivers, and land, every day, every minute and every minute, a lot of plastic waste is dumped. The sea once again sends serious humans. Warning: Please do not dump plastic waste into our stomach!
New Zealand is known as 'the last pure land in the world', but for the local fishermen, it is common for fish to be salvaged with plastic waste. At the seaside in Newcastle, England, a dying seal was found. It was a small child. After drilling into a plastic packing ring, he could not get rid of it. When he grew up, the packing ring became tighter and more tightly. He eventually dipped directly into his flesh and waited for nothing. He lives in a sea on an untouched island in the Southern Ocean. The Albatross was also not spared. An albatross who had eaten a plastic toothpick was punctured and died.
In February of this year, people found a whale stranded on the western coast of Norway. When people peeled off the whale's stomach, they found that it was filled with 30 large plastic bags. There was also a 9 meter long. The rope, a group of more than 30 square meters of plastic sheeting. The plastic bag in the whale stomach, can be covered with a full deck.
So, how many plastics are thrown into the sea each year in the ocean? According to conservative estimates, there are about 8 million tons per year. The ratio of plastics and plankton in the sea is expected to be about 1:2. According to the “New York Times” estimate, There are at least 1 billion marine animals that lose their lives each year because of humans discarding plastic products. If we do not change the way we produce and use plastic, we will have more plastic waste in the ocean than fish by 2050.
All kinds of plastic waste, after entering the ocean, eventually decomposed into plastic particles. The researchers collected a group of marine animals that normally lived on the seabed up to 2,000 meters in the sea around the western Rock Isles. Among the animals, 48 were found. % The body contains plastic particles. The plastic particles are eaten by the fish and the humans go to eat the fish. The final part of the plastic particles remains in their bodies. Humans will devour their own plastic waste through a cycle. If not, Measures to deal with, One day, we will encounter a 'food without fish' dilemma.
Humans have ruined the oceans and are destroying their own future. According to data obtained by British scientists, seafood lovers may eat up to 11,000 plastic particles each year. As a result, seafood lovers eat seafood on average every day. It is possible to eat 33 plastic particles at the same time. According to this data, people who often love to eat seafood may wish to self-test: How much plastic particles did I eat this year?
The white-collar workers who love to take delivery may wish to make a self-examination: How many plastic pellets did I eat this year? Because you are eating fast food delivered by the express brother, How many plastic pellets will there be in your food? And you will plastic After discarding the box, through various channels, including drinking of bottled water, the plastic particles will return to your stomach. Even so, our contamination of plastic products cannot really be taken lightly.
Reducing plastic waste should be started from a small place. It is not easy to do it at once without plastics, but it is feasible to start from small things. If you go to supermarkets without plastic bags, you don't need plastic straws to drink beverages. In January this year, a newspaper in London launched a promotional campaign called 'The Last Straw' (pun intended to be the last straw). Bars and nightclubs indicated that plastic straws were no longer provided, instead of paper straws. Well, our In the express delivery industry, do you want to find ways to reduce the use of plastic products?
