    【Chemical machinery and equipment network hot attention ] The energy environment has always been one of the hot topics we pay attention to, and the mention of energy environment can easily remind people of some unpleasant topics, such as what we are going to talk about today, plastic pollutio.
     
    Hot attention of Chemical Machinery Equipment NetworkChemical machinery and equipment
    To a certain extent, although plastic pollution comes fromThe use of plastic products , but more is actually the production of plastic waste and the wanton discard of plastic was.
    The British "Nature Communications" magazine published a research report on the 18th, which mentioned about 12 to 21 million tons of microplastic waste in the upper 200 meters of the Atlantic Oce.
    The source of these garbage may be plastic garbage buried in an old garbage dump, or garbage discarded by someone on the coast, but it is certain that they come from all over the world and far exceed the previously estimated amou.
     
    plastic products
    But this is not terrifyi.
    What's even more terrifying is that a lot of rubbish has invaded the human bo.
    The American Chemical Society published a research report in a recent video conference, which mentioned that many humans have not obtained indirect plastic fragments and microplastics that have been abandoned by animals and humans to eat, drink, and even breat.
    Finally, it enters the tissues and organs of the human bo.
    The report also mentioned that the lung, liver, spleen and kidney are four organs that are easily penetrated by microplasti.
     
    In fact, this is not the first time that microplastics threaten human heal.
    There have been multiple reports that more or less microplastic particles have been detected in fo.
    In other words, the plastic issue is not only an environmental issue, but has developed into a life, health and safety issue to some exte.
     
    In fact, there are already many solutions for how to solve the plastic problem and how to prevent plastic polluti.
    For example, for marine microplastics pollution, it has previously been proposed to use satellite remote sensing technology combined with near-infrared spectroscopy to detect marine microplastics pollution, and then use nano-ceramic adsorption technology and other microplastics collection technology to recycle and process the scattered in the oce.
    Microplasti.
    But objectively speaking, the manpower and material resources required for this method are extraordinary, so the actual implementation is not ea.
     
    Regarding the entry of microplastics into the food chain, technically speaking, increase the investment in food testing and use some laboratoriesDetector device, you want to avoid micro-plastic food table is not difficult, but the problem is that this number is how much, and how to deal with contaminated food are the probl.

     
    Detector
    All in all, if we look at the current plastic problem from a macro perspective, it is not difficult to find that the adverse effects of plastics on our lives have spread throughout all stages of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it is basically impossible to contain them in a short period of ti.

    But it is exactly the same, we should solve this problem from the root cau.

     
    Specifically, on the one hand, there should be clear regulations on the use of plastics: "Where to use", "Where not to use", and "How to recycle plastic product.


    All these issues should be clearly planned; Research, some occasions will increase environmental pressure, but have to use plastics, it is very important to find a new material that is environmentally friendly and can replace plasti.

     
    Generally speaking, the plastic problem is still a *problem at prese.

    It is not incapable of solving .

    It just needs to be considered from many aspects, and as far as the current situation is concerned, this problem cannot be ignor.
