Recently, the British newspaper The Times revealed that plastics have already been found on the most isolated place of our planet, in the Pacific Point of Nemo. It has been discovered earlier also in the deepest ocean ditches, remote uninhabited islands and polar regions.
As a synthetic material it practically does ont decompose. Some - and only temporary - relief is the recycling of plastics.
This way, however, it is not possible to process all the plastic that is no longer useful. Its microparticles have got virtually everywhere. Also to the human body, where its settling down and preparing problems.
Microplastics, small plastic debris of a maximum of five millimeters, "mischievously" penetrated into drinking water practically all over the planet. Last year, Orb Media published shocking results of its study: scientists analyzed drinking water from twelve countries around the world and got shocked - 83 percent of the samples were contaminated with plastic fibers.
The worst situation is in the United States. Microplastics were found in both tap and packed water.
The tiny plastic fiber was not missing in any of the 24 tested German beers.
It has appeared in sugar, honey and many other foods.
In Paris, they found that microscopic plastic dust, probably from tires, literally falls from the sky - the city gets ten tonnes of it each year.
