       Marine plastic waste hidden in the food
       By: INTCOrecycling Date: December 5, 2017, 7:37 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       There are two major sources of plastic particles in the ocean,
       one is the decomposition of large pieces of plastic waste,
       including plastic bottles and industrial plastic waste; the
       second is added to the matte cleanser and other cosmetics in the
       tiny particles.
       According to the British "Daily Mail" reported that scientists
       have said that each year was thrown into the ocean of plastic
       waste close to 5 million tons, some of which have even been
       contaminated with plastic particles to the consumption of sea
       salt. Based on the analysis of sea salt produced in China, the
       researchers found hundreds of tiny plastic particles per
       kilogram of salt. This means that, according to the current
       recommended amount of nutrition, consumers will eat an average
       of about 1,000 plastic particles per year, and for those who
       often eat shellfish, the annual may eat up to 11,000 plastic
       particles.

       There are two major sources of plastic particles in the ocean,
       one is the decomposition of large pieces of plastic waste,
       including plastic bottles and industrial plastic waste; the
       second is added to the matte cleanser, lotion, toothpaste and
       other cosmetics in the tiny particles. The size of plastic
       particles is usually below 5 mm, the vast majority is very
       small, even the naked eye can not see. Scientists worry that
       these tiny plastic particles can pose a serious health risk to
       the human body.
       Plastic particles in toothpaste, as well as tiny plastic fibers,
       are easily absorbed by marine creatures, including plankton,
       shellfish, etc., and remain in the food chain, passing to large
       fish until humans.
       In order to protect marine life, frosted facial cleanser, shower
       gel and toothpaste in the plastic particles will gradually stop
       using. This tiny particle can even pass through the water filter
       and flow to the ocean. And in our daily life, we should pay more
       attention on plastic recycling, such as polystyrene
