Scientific Evidence About Microplastic Ingredients

In 2004, the findings of a research programme led by Professor Richard Thompson (University of Plymouth) detailed the distribution of microplastic pollution. The article was the first to conclude the spread of microplastics and plastic fibres throughout the entire marine environment1. While larger pieces of plastic break down into smaller pieces due to UV radiation and abrasive wave action, cosmetic products use microplastic ingredients as abrasive scrubbers and for cleansing purposes2. The concentration of marine microplastics is accumulating rapidly3.

* Substantial quantities of microplastics in the ocean sink to the bottom. This is shown in a study into plastics in the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. A team of scientists researched these oceans between 2001 and 2012 to a depth of up to 3000 metres. The amount of plastic on the ocean floor is 1000 times greater than the amount floating on the surface. http://bit.ly/2arHkGj.

* The ocean contains an estimated minimum of 5.25 trillion plastic particles weighing nearly 269,000 tons of floating particles. http://bit.ly/2aGMe2K.

Scientists create eco-friendly, biodegradable microbeads
06/09/2017


Microbeads‘ detriment to the environment is well-documented, yet many companies continue to put the tiny plastic spheres in their products. Scientists at the University of Bath came up with a solution. They created microbeads from cellulose instead, and their alternative is both biodegradable and renewable.



https://inhabitat.com/scientists-create-eco-friendly-biodegradable-microbeads/

One shower can pollute the ocean with 100,000 plastic particles, according to an estimate cited by the University of Bath. These plastic microbeads less than five millimeters in size are way too small to be filtered out by sewage filtration systems, and from sunscreens, toothpastes, or cosmetics end up in the ocean. Fish, birds, and other marine creatures then consume them. Researchers think from there, the microbeads may be entering our food supply.

...

She said in a statement, “Microbeads used in the cosmetics industry are often made of polyethylene or polypropylene, which are cheap and easy to make. However these polymers are derived from oil and they take hundreds of years to break down in the environment …We hope in the future these [microbeads] could be used as a direct replacement for plastic microbeads.”

I posted the paper separately.
once again you try and pull the old leftist bullshit.
why not discuss what he is explaining?
if you don't like what Watts concluded read the paper yourself and discuss.

your brainless bullshit is useless.
why don't you post another out of context graph or a that the american society of funded democrats supports your outdated beliefs.

LOL. Tony Twatts.

You seem to be allergic to any reputable source. Why is that? Can't lie using them?


Anthony Watts
Credentials
Background
Anthony Watts is a former television meteorologist best known as the founder and editor of the blog Watts Up With That (WUWT), which primarily publishes articles attacking climate change science and spreading misinformation. [1]

He is also the director and president of IntelliWeather Inc., a weather graphics company alternatively known as Innovative Tech Works (ITWorks) and Weathershop. Watts founded Surfacestations.org, a project with the stated purpose of documenting the siting quality of weather stations in the United States. [1], [3]

Watts previously worked as an on-air meteorologist for WLFI-TV in Lafayette, Indiana, and later joined KHSK-TV in 1987. In 2002, Watts left his position as a television weatherman to devote time to his private business, ITWorks. He returned to work part-time at KHSL in 2004, and has also been the chief meteorologist for KPAY-AM (an affiliate of Fox News) since 2002. [5], [6]

Watts admits “I'm not a degreed climate scientist” at WUWT. His primary credential appears to be an American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval. This does not mean that Watts is “AMS Certified” as some sources have inaccurately claimed. The AMS Seal of Approval is a discontinued credential that does not require a bachelor's or higher degree in atmospheric science or meteorology. [7], [8], [9]

Watts's “About” page mentions neither his Purdue attendance nor whether he graduated. Email correspondence between SourceWatch and Purdue University confirm he attended from August, 1975 to May, 1982, however Registrar staff also confirm it is safe to assume that Watts attained no qualification from the university. [1], [2]

According to leaked documents released in 2012, Watts has received funding from the Heartland Institute. [4]

Yes we know that you think that using good sources is "leftist bullshit". But actually, many reasonable righties don't feel the need to lie like you do. They are more honest.
 
Leftists like fingercunts don’t know what a good source looks like.
You could provide a great peer reviewed paper written by someone who voted for Trump and Libtards like FC would thumb their nose at it because the scientists didn’t have an adequate degree from a Big 10 school or maybe he filled up his car with gas so he’s clearly in bed with the Oil Industry.

Even more amazing is the hypocrisy of these lying losers. Selling shit that poisons the environment and then pointing the finger at man for ‘poisoning the environment’.

Global warming OVERRIDDEN by 'mini ice age' that will plunge UK temperature in 2030, claim mathematicians

27 DEC 2017

They believe that magnetic waves from the sun will begin decreasing in 2021 and last for 33 years. Historically, low magnetic activity from the Sun has coincided with cold periods on Earth.

...

And the study warns against stopping efforts to fight climate change, just because the temperature may drop.

"Compared to the changes in the proper ice ages, the so-called Little Ice Age (LIA) is a very short-lived and puny climate and social perturbation," explains the study.
