    People don't watch this type of informative videos huh?

      I've noticed this too, not that much content on UA-cam covering this at all

      No, they do not.

      They clearly don't. This channel has 32.9 million subs and only 6777 people have watched this video. That's an awful performance of video. But the video itself was good.

    Can you discussed also micro plastics mask made from synthetic fiber?

    Car Tires, car finishes, human shoes, all fish traps, all fish buoys, all fish nets, all boats scraping and sloshing around. Surfboards, swimsuits, beach toys. Coolers, recycling bins. All items never considered part of the waste stream

    Would the sensors themselves contain microplastics?

    good explanatory video, question suppose microplastics are collected, what would be done with that waste (the answer that is not recycling), how could we eliminate that microplastic waste is there any way

      Burning plastics, which are just long carbon chains, simply results in CO2, thus getting rid of the plastic.
      Problem is in a lot of the plastic there are also substances to stabilize them that are highly toxic when burned ...

      I hear there’s promising research going into fungi’s decomposing abilities with microplastics.

      ​@@michealblair679which can produce even worse chemicals. The best solution is always to address the ROOT CAUSE: STOP USING ALL PETROCHEMICALS to the best of our ability. This nightmare didn't exist prior to 1907, & even when I was a kid, NO ONE was consuming their beverages from plastic! It's HARD, but there are food & beverage producers who use glass. For the sake of you health alone, consume those items vs. anything packaged in plastic.

    I mean, I think it's good to tackle the plastics issue from diff directions.. 'let's get back to reality' isn't really helpful
