#Microplastics are found around the globe, but studies show the #Arctic contains some of the most contaminated animals & people in the world 🚨

A report released earlier this year documents the extensive community health risks 🔗:

RT @SeaGrant: 💧 Can water treatments remove #microplastics?

New research from @OhioSeaGrant is examining the effectiveness of treatment plants against these tiny plastic pollutants. The findings will help guide decision-makers on public #health risks.

Even though we can't see #microplastics, it can cause irreversible—sometimes fatal—harm to birds and other wildlife 🐦

#TheCircleWWF looks at why this problem is widespread in the #Arctic, and birds are among the main victims 🔗:

In case you missed it yet, the last issue of #TheCircleWWF looked at pollution in the #Arctic 🥤🏭

It covers the problems, such #microplastics & pollution, as well as the solutions, such as community clean-ups & global action 🔗:
