mikropluodot

Mikropluodot, also known as microplastics, are tiny plastic particles that are less than 5 millimeters in size. They are a significant environmental concern due to their widespread presence in various ecosystems, including oceans, freshwater bodies, and even the air. Microplastics can originate from the breakdown of larger plastic debris, such as plastic bags, bottles, and synthetic fibers, or from microbeads used in personal care products. These particles can be ingested by marine organisms, potentially causing harm to their health and the broader ecosystem. Microplastics also have the capacity to absorb and concentrate pollutants, further exacerbating environmental contamination. The accumulation of microplastics in the environment is a growing area of research, with scientists working to understand their sources, distribution, and impacts on wildlife and human health. Efforts to mitigate microplastic pollution include reducing plastic waste, improving waste management practices, and promoting the use of biodegradable and compostable materials.
