PAINT FRAGMENTS AS POLLUTING MICROPLASTICS: A BRIEF REVIEW

1/18/2021

0 Comments

 
​Interesting (and a bit scary) review article published by US and Brazilian researcher in Marine Pollution Bulletin:
​
"More than 100 million particles of macroplastics are present in the seas, with 51 trillion microplastic particles (<5 mm) floating on the ocean surface"  
 
"....the impact of paint fragments in the oceans is likely to be at least similar to those of other plastics, involving ingestion by marine biota and transfer and concentration of contaminants, including microorganisms".
