Experts call for ban on daily chemical products to add micro-plastic particles to protect the marine environment

Scrub, exfoliation, and massage granules in personal care products such as facial cleanser, bath salt, and shower gel are “cleaners” for deep cleansing. However, this micro-plastic granule is becoming a “gentle” killer for marine fish. .

The 283th Shanghai Oriental Science and Technology Forum, titled “Micro-Plastics Marine Pollution and Control”, was held in Shanghai a few days ago. Experts at the meeting called on China to issue relevant laws and regulations as soon as possible, and explicitly prohibit the addition of micro-beads to daily chemical products. Research to find alternative materials and new technologies that are biodegradable.

Li Daoji, a marine biologist and professor at East China Normal University, pointed out that marine plastic pollution has become a major global environmental issue alongside global climate change, ozone depletion and ocean acidification. “The ocean has almost become a plastic world.” Globally, 10 to 20 million tons of plastic waste enters the ocean every year, which contains a lot of micro-plastics.

The so-called marine microplastics refer to plastic industrial products with a particle size of less than 5 mm entering the marine environment. And this invisible colorful tiny "color beads" almost "rolls" in people's lives every day.

China is the world's largest producer and consumer of plastics. Micro-plastic pollution poses a serious threat to China's offshore ecosystem and brings tremendous international public opinion pressure to China.

After the micro-plastic is washed into the sewer by water, it becomes a particulate object that never fades. “Current urban sewage treatment technology cannot degrade micro-plastics. In Shanghai, for example, thousands of tons of micro-plastics are deposited in urban sludge every year, and eventually fall into the sea.” Lin Weiqing, Shanghai Institute of Environmental Sciences, told us .

The worry is that microplastics are entering the marine food chain after entering the ocean. Due to the similar size and density of marine microplastics and plankton in the ocean, many marine organisms such as fish and shellfish cannot be distinguished and are easily eaten by mistake. Zhang Haibo and others from the Yantai Coastal Zone Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said that the survey showed that microplastics were found in 90% of the more than 20 common fish samples with high economic value. For marine life, microplastics are like "PM2.5 in the ocean", threatening their survival.
