Plastic Pollution

Earth Day 2024: The theme this year is "Planet vs. Plastics," which aims to increase public awareness of the detrimental effects that plastic pollution has on both human and environmental health.

Microplastics are tiny plastic debris that can enter our bodies through the water we drink and expose us to illnesses.

Microplastics are extremely small pieces of plastic debris in the environment resulting from the disposal and breakdown of consumer products and industrial waste.

The findings highlight the pervasiveness of plastic pollution, reaching even into the seemingly untouched layers of the past.

In humans, microplastics have been found in the blood and in organs such as the lungs and placenta.

Heating tap water before use has the potential to eliminate at least 80 percent of the minuscule, potentially harmful plastic particles it may contain.

Scientists at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences have used a new tool to measure how much of these microplastics are in human placentas.

The video shows a tiger picking up a plastic bottle from a waterhole in the Tadoba National Park in Maharashtra.

The use of alternative materials or refillable options could pave the way for a more sustainable laundry routine.

In 2004, Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from the University of Plymouth in the United Kingdom, coined the term "microplastics."

Heart-wrenching images of revered elephants and cattle eating plastic in Sri Lanka have prompted politicians to toughen pollution laws, but sceptical conservationists warn past bans were repeatedly ignored.

Plastic particles have infiltrated even the most remote and seemingly-pristine regions of the planet, even forests.

World Environment Day 2023 focuses on 'Solutions to Plastic Pollution' under the campaign #BeatPlasticPollution.

A distressing video has surfaced on Twitter that shows garbage, abandoned tents, and plastic waste thrown at a camp on Mount Everest.

The massive, fish-shaped structure composed of plastic trash was constructed by the authorities at the Besant Nagar beach in Chennai.
