2024世界环境日主题为:“塑战速决”Beat Plastic Pollution.呼吁世界,同心协力对抗一次性塑料污染问题,塑料污染已无处不在,我们运用完的塑料包装,绝大多数会始终存在,并最终流入海洋。这须要每个同学从自身做起,从身边的小事做起。下列做法不符合绿色理念的是( )...
Plastic Pollution As most of us are aware by now, plastic waste has become a significant environmental problem. With the exponential increase in the production and usage of plastic products worldwide, the disposal of plastic waste has become a challenge for the global community. The non-biodegrada...
Plastic pollution is now pervasive in the Arctic, even in areas with no apparent human activity, such as the deep seafloor. In this Review, we describe the sources and impacts of Arctic plastic pollution, including plastic debris and microplastics, which have infiltrated terrestrial and aquatic sys...

Electronic waste (e-waste) recycling site may be a “hotspot” for pollution of plastic debris, which has not been well studied. Eighteen halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) were measured in plastics and soil separated from twenty soil samples, respectively, from an abandoned e-waste recycling si...
(i.e.,macroplastics, microplastic, or both). We identified 52 technologies that fall into the two categories of prevention or collection of plastic pollution. Of these, 59% focus specifically on collecting macroplastic waste already in waterways. While these efforts to collect plastic pollution ...
