Tiny plastic particles are found everywhere

Research leads to awareness

16-Apr-2024 - Microplastic particles can be found in the most remote ocean regions on earth. In Antarctica, pollution levels are even higher than previously assumed. This is one finding of a recent study involving researchers from the University of Basel. It’s not the first study on microplastics in Antarctica ...

Final destination deep sea: microplastics impact ocean floor even more than assumed

The deep sea serves as the “oceans’ garbage dump” – and it is surprisingly dynamic when it comes to deposition

15-Jul-2022 - Senckenberg researchers Serena Abel and Angelika Brandt, together with colleagues from the Alfred Wegener Institute – Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) and Goethe University in Frankfurt, have investigated microplastic pollution in the Western Pacific Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. ...

Tracking down microplastics in Antarctica

Microplastics are everywhere, even in the most remote places. Where do these tiny pieces of plastic come from?

01-Dec-2021 - Microplastics are an environmental problem since organisms ingest these tiny particles and can be harmed by them. Even remote regions such as Antarctica are affected. To quantify this form of pollution and find out where the small particles come from, a research team from the Department of ...

Microplastic drifting down with the snow

In the Alps and the Arctic, experts confirm the presence of plastic in snow

16-Aug-2019 - Over the past several years, microplastic particles have repeatedly been detected in seawater, drinking water, and even in animals. But these minute particles are also transported by the atmosphere and subsequently washed out of the air, especially by snow – and even in such remote regions as the ...
