Está chovendo microplástico?

Segundo especialistas, há um novo inimigo invisível caindo do céu: microplásticos.

E os impactos podem ser graves e com danos irreversíveis.

Nos anos 1970, a chuva ácida corroía prédios e matava ecossistemas. Hoje, microplásticos caem com a chuva e demoram milênios para se degradar.

Os microplásticos das chuvas vêm das rodovias, oceanos e produtos do dia a dia liberam partículas no ar.

Elas viajam grandes distâncias e voltam em forma de precipitação.

Mais de 1.000 toneladas de microplásticos caem por ano em parques dos EUA. Já foram encontrados PFAS na chuva em cidades como Miami.

Hoje, nenhuma água não tratada pode ser considerada potável.

Oceanos, rios, comida, água da torneira e até nosso corpo contêm microplásticos. Eles não desaparecem e acumulam-se ao longo do tempo.

Estudos ligam microplásticos a câncer, doenças cardíacas, renais e Alzheimer. Mas o impacto total da ingestão humana ainda é incerto.

Especialistas ainda procuram uma forma de combater e resolver esse problema.
