Polymer Editing Can Upcycle Waste Into Higher Performance Plastics
Adam Malin/ORNL, U.S. Dept. of Energy By editing the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a way to generate new macromolecules with more valuable properties than those of the starting material. Upcycling may help remedy the roughly 450 million tons of plastic discarded worldwide annually, of which only 9% gets recycled; the rest is incinerated or winds up in landfills, oceans or elsewhere……Continue […]

‘Huge amounts’ of litter clog up EU waters. Will robots save the day?
Scientists and companies behind SeaClear2.0 and its predecessor SeaClear have developed a fleet of drones that can independently identify rubbish lying on the seabed.
The EU-funded initiative is helping tidy up the litter-filled sea floor, and could even be used to detect hidden mines.

Eine neue #Studie aus #Neuseeland zeigt, dass selbst tief tauchende Arten wie #Pottwale vergleichbare Belastungen aufweisen wie küstennahe Tiere. Die #Chemikalien könnten das Immun- und #Fortpflanzungssystem der Tiere beeinträchtigen.
Auch in #Europa wurden PFAS bereits im Körper fast aller Menschen nachgewiesen.

Toxic ammunition is rotting away in the Baltic Sea. Germany wants to recover it before it’s too late.
Approximately 1.6 million tonnes of WWII munitions lie on the seafloor, leaking toxic compounds that are contaminating marine life and threatening the Baltic ecosystem.

Why in the News? Today, we explore the environmental crisis of Oil Spills, which are catastrophic events where petroleum contaminates oceans, affecting marine life and ecosystems.
Oil spills occur when liquid petroleum hydrocarbons accidentally enter water bodies, usually due to human activities like tanker leaks, pipeline ruptures, or natural disasters damaging offshore platforms.

While Israel vaccinates its soldiers for polio virus, what of the threat to beach going Israelis and others, including tourists from around the world, who bathe and eat shellfish along the Mediterranean coast, due to the contaminated waters flowing from Gaza? Viruses survive in sea water and can be transported long distances. Israeli extermination of Palestinians is a threat to the health of the region.

Durch den Einsatz von #Satelliten ist die Überwachung von #Meeresmüll aus dem All Realität geworden. Forscher konnten mithilfe von #Copernicus-Satelliten und der Analyse von über 300.000 Bildern des Mittelmeers Ansammlungen von Meeresmüll identifizieren. Dies ermöglicht eine genauere Kartierung und Überwachung der Verschmutzungsgebiete und könnte die Bekämpfung der #Plastikverschmutzung revolutionieren.

New study by CSIRO and the University of Toronto sheds light on the true extent of plastic pollution in our oceans. Researchers estimate a staggering 3-11 million metric tons of plastic debris currently resides on the ocean floor, potentially 100 times more than what floats on the surface.

Zelebrieren wir den #Meermittwoch heute mal aus einer eher ungewöhnlichen #Perspektive. Die widmet sich einem Thema, das uns wohl auf ewig begleiten wird: Treibgut oder #Meeresverschmutzung durch #Plastik. Da ziehen dann auch gleich dunkle #Wolken auf!
Let's celebrate #MeerMittwoch from a rather unusual #perspective today. It's dedicated to a topic that will probably stay with us forever: Flotsam and #MarinePollution by plastic waste. Dark clouds are gathering!
Treibgut
If you are an #EU citizen, please support this initiative for a #EuropeanEnvironmentAuthority and share it with others too.
It's not just about #climateChange , one reason it was started was to stop the destruction that happened at the Fertő lake from happening again anywhere else.
Other examples the initiative explicitly lists:

⚡️ New study reveals almost half of UK marine mammals are contaminated by banned chemicals, with concerns that climate change could cause increased leakage. Chemical concentrations remain high despite global bans, posing significant risks to wildlife already under pressure from other threats. Pollution, including historical releases, is cited as a contributing factor. Urgent action is needed to address this wake-up call. #MarinePollution #ToxicChemicals #WildlifeRisk https://www.riskmap.com/incidents/1965694/articles/200099956/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
