danger from roads to ocean!
Researches are published by another in terms of the harm caused by human resources. Every research reveals environmental damage in different areas. Finally, according to a research conducted in Norway; more than 200 thousand small pieces of plastic are dragging from the wind to the oceans every year. This is the largest source of plastic waste in the oceans.
The danger thatOtomobils spread is growing]
According to the research; plastic in the rivers flowing to the oceans as it has been so far, is the main reason for the tires of vehicles in roads, which are the plastic waste deposits in these giant waters. According to the news published in Guardian, research focused on abrasion in brake pads and vehicle tires. Accordingly, a total of 550 thousand tons of plastic, consisting of more than 0.01 millimeters, the vehicle tyres worn on the road, and half of which reach the oceans. More than 80 thousand tons of waters or snow covered areas. This accelerates melting in these areas due to dark colors. According to the opinions of experts who do research; the use of electric vehicles, which are increasingly common, make this situation harder to solve. Electric vehicles are much heavier than others, more weight and more wear in wheels. [
Microplastic: Invisible hazard
Microplastic pollution leads to the Alps from the North Pole, from there to the deepest of the oceans to pollution all over the world. These particles can also carry toxic chemicals and harmful germs. People are also known to consume these plastic particles through food and drinks or air, but there is no clear information about their harm yet. Even if microplastic particles are proven in previous researches that spread all over the world, they were not known to harm and influence the oceans. For the first time instead of plastic bottles or bags, scientists who examine the wear in vehicle tires have reached a clear conclusion once again. Andreas Stohl from the Norwegian Air Research Institute, said: "A very important microplastic source for remote areas including Jews, oceans. A vehicle tire loses an average of four kilos from weight for the time it is used. This is a very large proportion for the spread of plastic when compared to plastic in clothes for example. It is not possible to spread plastic from a dress to weights. "
