:luffy15: | ¿Por qué necesitamos un protocolo global contra la contaminación por plásticos?.
Si algo tienen en común las oscuridades más profundas del océano, los picos más altos del Himalaya y las partes más íntimas de nuestro cuerpo se trata, sin duda alguna, de la presencia de microplásticos.
El plástico es un polímero cuyas propiedades parecen casi mágicas: resulta extremadamente versátil, barato y prácticamente indestructible. El plástico aguanta relativamente bien las embestidas del tiempo, que logra reducirlo a partículas demasiado diminutas para nuestros ojos, pero en realidad requiere de miles de años para su destrucción real. De hecho, esta indestructibilidad lo ha convertido en un creciente problema de salud pública y ecotoxicidad.

CW: #plastic #disease called plasticosis ! 🤣
#plasticosis = #plastic #disease ! 🤣
"...the fibrotic disease caused by plastic-induced scarring they observed in the stomachs of seabirds."

The Plastic Problem
Since the 1950s, industry has pumped out plastic products at an increasingly rapid clip (5). Production now reaches about 400 million metric tons per year (5). Half of these plastics are intended for a single use, such as polystyrene plates and polypropylene grocery bags, of which the vast majority are not recycled.When pieces measure less than 5 millimeters, researchers call these fragments microplastics. Industry also produces microplastics directly for consumer use, such as beads in exfoliating face washes and fibers in synthetic textiles.
Microplastics have been found in sea ice in the Arctic Ocean (6), air in the Antarctic (7), and dust in homes (8)... guts of seals and dolphins (9) and in seafood (10) and bottled water (11). They’ve even been found in human blood (12), stools (13), lungs (14), and placenta (15).
“We’re swimming in a mess of our own making,” says marine ecologist Randi Rotjan of Boston University.
And macroplastics are going to break down to microplastics for millennia. - Randi Rotjan #Quote
It’s not as though the water had been thick with plastic. Imagine piling nylon filaments onto a quarter and then sprinkling them into a 6-liter tank... That amount of microplastic was all it took for the dramatic increase in mortality.

"So when we open up one of these birds that has just incredible volumes of plastic inside of it, we notice almost immediately these ripples and folds are gone, and so are those tubular glands and the birds ability to excrete or produce hydrochloric acid, enzymes and a really important mucus that protects the stomach from things like bacteria and viruses. So you can see how this would kind of cascade." #plasticosis #plastics
