Sad surprise’: Amazon fish contaminated by plastic particles
This fish that was found is the first evidence of plastic pollution in Amazon basin freshwater fish.
There are many types of pollution and they are spreading more and more to our daily lives. It is even beyond us at this point. As it can be seen in this article, there are plastic particles in a freshwater fish.
After the fish was analyzed, the amount and variation of plastic particles that were found in the fish were shocking. The images that are placed below are examples and variations of plastic that is in an animal.
This is very sad and tragic. The pollution is over our heads however we still continue with a similar attitude. We have to stop…
I believe that we have to actually use the technology of the 21st century to create nonplastic products that resolve in salted water so they will not become a part of the water ecosystem. They can even have minerals that are beneficial for freshwater sources.
