Research: flows after precipitation transfer microplastics to the depths of the oceans

A joint study of universities from Manchester and Utrecht showed that flows after precipitation transfer microplastics to the depths of the oceans. This will make it possible to understand how plastic particles affect marine organisms. The study showed that the largest flows on Earth can carry microplastics for tens of kilometers. These data can help...

Arctic light pollution affects fish and zooplankton to a depth of 200m

Pollution of the Arctic with light affects fish and zooplankton to a depth of 200 m. This is the conclusion made by scientists from the Arctic University of Norway, who studied the reaction of marine animals to light during the polar night. The work was published in the journal Commun Biol. Arctic polar night is...

For 40 years, the number of helminths transmitted to humans from fish has grown by 283 times

The number of helminths that are transmitted to humans from raw fish has grown 283 times over 40 years. This conclusion was made by scientists from the University of Washington, whose study was published in the journal Global Change Biology. The study deals with herring worms – organisms that, despite their name, are found in...

Illegal ozone-depleting gas emissions are higher than expected

Emissions of prohibited ozone-depleting gases were higher than expected. Their sources, according to a study by scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, are household appliances and materials produced even before the ban was introduced. The work was published in the journal Nature Communications. Freons are compounds of fluorine, hydrocarbons and other halogens that are...

The ancient tsunami destroyed part of the Falkland Islands. It could happen again!

The ancient tsunami destroyed part of the Falkland Islands. This conclusion was reached by geologists at Heriot-Watt University, writes the BBC. A group of geologists led by Dr. Wisdeen Nicholson discovered evidence of the ancient destruction of the Falkland Islands. Not far from this territory, at the bottom of the sea, scientists found traces of...

Scientists first linked melting ice in Antarctica with changing weather in the tropics

Scientists have for the first time associated the melting of ice in Antarctica with the changing weather in the tropics. According to the study, the loss of Arctic and Antarctic ice will be about one fifth of the warming that is predicted to occur in the tropics. This is stated in the work of scientists...
