Unlike organic materials, plastic does not dissolve; instead, it undergoes a prolonged process of fragmentation into smaller particles known as microplastics. This perpetual breakdown is exacerbated by exposure to environmental elements, such as sunlight and waves, rendering plastic an enduring pollutant. Microplastics infiltrate marine ecosystems, permeating water bodies and adversely impacting aquatic life. The consequences extend to the food chain, as marine organisms ingest these minute plastic particles. The toxins associated with microplastics accumulate and traverse up the food web, affecting larger marine species and potentially reaching humans who consume seafood. This insidious cycle of plastic pollution threatens the delicate balance of oceanic ecosystems, emphasizing the urgent need for global initiatives to curb plastic usage, enhance waste management practices, and mitigate the pervasive impact of microplastics on both marine life and human health.
