Paint is an overlooked source of marine plastic pollution, with 0.01 pieces per cubic meter in the North Atlantic

  • 2021-11-18

Scientists warn that paint may be one of the most common microplastics in the ocean, but the threat to marine life is being ignored. Toxic paint chips could harm large numbers of marine life in fragile ecosystems, a study shows. Survey finds: Paint chips are second only to microplastic fibers in the sea, according to new research published in the journal Science of the Total Environment by the University of Plymouth and the Marine Biological Association. , researchers conducted surveys in the North Atlantic and found that every cubic meter of seawater contained an average of 0.01 paint chips. They found that this material is second only to microplastic fibers in abundance in the sea. Each cubic meter of seawater contains about 0.16 pieces of microplastic fibers. Chemical analysis of the paint samples found significant amounts of copper, lead and iron, which may pose additional threats to the many species in the ocean and sea that feed on such debris. Ships and oil rigs are coated with paint to protect them from corrosion, but these coatings can peel off and kill marine life. A 2015 study estimated that there were 15 to 51 trillion microplastic particles in the ocean, a number that has continued to rise since then. According to the World Conservation Union (WWF), at least 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year. Large pieces of plastic can suffocate and stagnate wildlife
