Microplastics (MPs) are the hottest topic now a days and they should be because they are everywhere and by everywhere I mean EVERYWHERE. The oceans, the Islands, the lakes, the sediments, inside the organisms and even in human blood too. before we go further lets see What are they? There is no agreed upon definition of Mps in scientific literature but some scientists define them as tiny plastic particles with a size range between 1μm-5mm. They can be of different shapes and colors (transparent as well) and are released into the environment directly or indirectly. Directly through washing machines, industries and personal care products (watch your glitter use, folks) while Indirect exposure means the breakdown of larger plastic pieces into smaller ones (how? a topic for another day). Why Worry? Mps are a pollutant of emerging concern for multiple reasons. They are everywhere They are a threat to ecological health Small organisms eat them and they ...
when it comes to survival, what we say "matters", what we do "matters", and what we perceive "matters". the term "climate change" has been replaced with "climate crisis" and "climate emergency" for the world to pay attention. The people who have paid the most attention are working tirelessly to invent the ways to reverse the damage that has been caused by us. As CO2 concentration is going higher in the atmosphere, so is the blood in the innovators' brains. here are the top 5 Technology innovations that are hoped to be our weapon against climate battle. Energy Alternatives: this might be the oldest argument made by science to tackle climate change but it is still worthy of discussion. we have heard of solar energy, hydropower, windmills, and nuclear energy as fossil fuel's replacements. These energies are continuously made better by innovators across the globe. As solar power is being stored for longer times, and win...
