New study, plastic pollution is all around the environment

Microplastics have been found everywhere by Arctic sea ice on German agricultural soil. And according to a new study, these tiny pollutants may even be in heaven. Researchers found that when mosquito larvae living in pools eat tiny plastic fragments, particles remain inside their bodies [...]
And according to a new study, these tiny pollutants may even be in heaven.
Researchers found that when mosquito larvae from ponds eat tiny plastic fragments, particles remain within their bodies even after growth.
And this has raised concerns about finding plastic in the food chain.
Since plastic appeared at the top of the environmental agenda, scientists tried to understand its impact on the health of aquatic animals.
While whales are the most visible victims of plastic, the examination has found that plankton, flies and fish are also consuming large microscopic microscopic volumes.
In this context, mosquito researcher Dr. Amanda Callaghan of the University of Reating realized that the problem of plastic swallowing cannot be limited to underwater creatures.
And we have come to realize that mosquitoes, although living in freshwater, are very different from other creatures that have been studied so far, have a vital phase that leaves the water,”She told about The Independent. If mosquitoes eat plastic, does that not mean that plastic leaves the water and pollutes a new environment?
Previous research shows that mosquito larvae, water - surface creatures, and filters particles for food, are able to eat small plastic pieces.
But no one had noticed before how these plastic fragments remain in their bodies throughout their life cycle, from larvae to stage when they are fully developed.
So plastic goes from water to mosquitoes flying through the air.
When mosquitoes are eaten by a bird, a bat, or another bird, plastic passes on to them.
