27 million tons of nanoplastics found in the North Atlantic Ocean, capable of devastating marine life and penetrating the human body

A groundbreaking study reveals the alarming presence of 27 million tons of nanoplastics in the North Atlantic Ocean, posing significant threats to marine ecosystems and human health. These microscopic particles, originating from plastic breakdown and other sources, infiltrate the food chain and can penetrate tissues. Experts emphasize the urgent need to prevent further plastic pollution to mitigate this pervasive threat.
