Cotique salt, pollution reaches our tables

Recent studies have shown that tiny plastic particles have been found in sea salt in Great Britain, France, and Spain, but also in China and the United States of America. Researchers believe that most of the contamination comes from microfibras and single - user plastic, such as water bottles, items that make up much of the plastic waste.

Some 12.7 million tons of plastic enter the world's oceans each year, the equivalent of a garbage truck filled with plastic that flows every minute into the world's oceans.

The effects of plastic in our organism are not yet clear. Scientists try to understand the effects of plastic on the human body, but they cannot find a group of people unexposed to it.

Meanwhile, “The Guardian” wrote in a analysis long before 1 million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute and that recycling efforts are failing to catch production rate, expected to be fourfold by 2050.

Some environmentalists say that the threat of plastic pollution now rivals climate change.
