Microplastice: o călătorie fascinantă prin universul inconștient al omului

Abstract

In the Twenty-First Century both children and the elderly should be educated in the sense of knowing the ecological danger of micro plastics. Children and adolescents spend a lot of time on electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets, engaging in social networks and other online activities. Although these technologies offer numerous benefits, they can also lead to a disconnect from the natural world and environmental problems. Many of us may not fully realize the impact of the dangers posed by micro plastics because they focus more on digital interactions than real-world concerns. That is why we believe that providing this information will have a positive impact on the future. On the other hand, older adults, especially those who are not as connected to the internet or social networks, may not be fully aware of the destructive factors of micro plastic. They may rely on traditional forms of media or personal interactions for information that is not always truthful. Studies indicate that the main sources of micro plastics include the fragmentation of larger plastics, particles in hygiene products and cosmetics, synthetic fibers in clothes, laundry, and other objects. Micro plastics have been identified in diverse ecosystems and their impact on aquatic and terrestrial habitats is significant.
