| Description: |
Microplastics have been found in some of the most remote and uncharted regions of the oceans raising more concerns over the global scale of plastic pollution. Samples taken from the middle of the South Indian Ocean - at latitude 45.5 degrees south - show microplastic particles detected at relatively high volumes. The data showed 42 particles per cubic metre, which was surprising given the remoteness of the area. [Source: The Guardian]
