Indeed, this study shows that the North Atlantic alone would contain 27 million tons of plastic, finally to be more p…
Scientists from the Royal Netherlands Institute for Marine Research (NIOZ) and Utrecht University have discovered a staggering 27 million tons of nearly invisible nanoplastics floating in the North Atlantic Ocean, Interesting Engineering reports. This is the first real estimate of how much plastic pollution exists in the form of nanoparticles, tiny fragments smaller than a micrometer. According to Helge Niemann, professor of geochemistry at Utre…
