🚩看到這文章的標題覺得有點小震撼
雖然早已知道塑膠垃圾問題嚴重
但用新酸雨來形容塑膠雨還是覺得有點震撼
畢竟酸雨這問題從小在教科書裡常常會提及
我不知道現在的課本有沒有提及塑膠污染問題
但塑膠早已進入大氣系統裡面
美國西部一個研究：
收集了14個月的雨水和空氣樣本後計算出…
每年有1000多噸的微塑膠落入美國西部11個保護區，
相當於超過1.2億個膠樽/寶特瓶。
塑膠不會分解只會分裂成眼睛看不到的大小
也有nanoplastic的存在(比灰塵更小)
美國台灣早早就禁的的microbead香港還沒有禁
人造纖維衣服的microfiber在洗衣服時會釋出
如果我們還是過著一樣的生活
不去在生活上大大的減少塑膠的使用及依賴
往後我們一呼一吸都是有毒的塑膠空氣
你覺得每天帶著口罩很辛苦嗎?
我們把水把空氣都污染了不是很愚蠢嗎?
減塑生活需要你
//Writing today in the journal Science, researchers report a startling discovery: After collecting rainwater and air samples for 14 months, they calculated that over 1,000 metric tons of microplastic particles fall into 11 protected areas in the western US each year. That’s the equivalent of over 120 million plastic water bottles. “We just did that for the area of protected areas in the West, which is only 6 percent of the total US area,” says lead author Janice Brahney, an environmental scientist at Utah State University. “The number was just so large, it's shocking.”
It further confirms an increasingly hellish scenario: Microplastics are blowing all over the world, landing in supposedly pure habitats, like the Arctic and the remote French Pyrenees. They’re flowing into the oceans via wastewater and tainting deep-sea ecosystems, and they’re even ejecting out of the water and blowing onto land in sea breezes. And now in the American West, and presumably across the rest of the world given that these are fundamental atmospheric processes, they are falling in the form of plastic rain—the new acid rain.//
