Microplastics Deposited on the Seafloor Triple in 20 Years!

Microplastics are a type of miniature plastic that is bad for our bodies. These deposits come from all different types of plastic including tires etc.

According to recent studies, the total amount of microplastic in the bottom of the ocean has striped over the last 20 years! This is a huge amount of growth in microplastics! Due to this, animals are accidentally swallowing the microplastics leading to many diseases.

This is the fundamental decision of a review created by the Foundation of Natural Science and Innovation of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB) and the Branch of the Constructed Climate of Aalborg College (AAU-Fabricate), which gives the main high-goal recreation of microplastic contamination from dregs got in the northwestern Mediterranean Ocean.

Notwithstanding the ocean bottom being viewed as the last sink for microplastics drifting on the ocean surface, the verifiable development of this contamination source in the residue compartment, and especially the sequestration and entombment pace of more modest microplastics on the sea floor, is obscure.

This is really dangerous as microplastics can cause many health hazards! Let’s change this to make our earth a better place to live!
