A plastic that dissolves quickly in the sea
A potential solution to plastic pollution in the oceans threatening marine life comes from Japanese researchers (in a laboratory in Wako, Saitama prefecture) who have reportedly demonstrated that the new type of plastic they tested dissolves in a container filled with salt water in about an hour and leaves no residues, thus not fragmenting into particles and then into dangerous microplastics. While waiting for this new type of plastic to enter production, it is advisable to avoid dispersing plastic into the environment; in fact, it enters the food chain and is inhaled as microplastic. A study indicated that it tends to accumulate in higher concentrations in the brain compared to other organs and if a blood test is conducted it is possible to find the presence of microplastic particles with consequences still not well understood, but certainly unhealthy.
