Egg whites could be key to removing microplastics from seawater
It could soon be possible to clear the oceans of microplastics thanks to a gel made from egg whites.
Scientists have even found microplastics in the Arctic
Microplastics are polluting tap water, the deep sea and now even remote corners of the Arctic. Scientists found concentrations of plastic in ice floes from the Fram Strait, the passage that connects the Arctic Ocean to the rest of the world's oceans. Their findings, published today in Science Advances, offer further evidence that increased plastic production is impacting the environment in new, unforeseen ways.
