Unseen Threats: Exploring Microplastics

Slide 1 - Tekstslide

Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to understand the basics of microplastics and their impact on the environment.

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

What do you already know about microplastics?

Slide 3 - Woordweb

What are Microplastics?
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles, less than 5mm in size, that come from various sources including cosmetics, clothing, and plastic debris breakdown.

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Sources of Microplastics
Primary sources include microbeads in personal care products, while secondary sources are the breakdown of larger plastic debris.

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Environmental Impact
Microplastics pose a significant threat to marine life, as they can be ingested by organisms and accumulate in the food chain.

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Human Health Concerns
There are concerns about the potential health impacts of consuming seafood containing microplastics, as well as the inhalation of microplastic particles.

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Measuring Microplastics
Scientists use specialized equipment to detect and quantify microplastics in water, soil, and organisms, helping to understand the extent of contamination.

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Mitigation Strategies
Efforts to mitigate microplastic pollution include regulations on microbeads, promoting biodegradable alternatives, and raising awareness about plastic pollution.

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Conclusion
Microplastics present a complex environmental and public health challenge, requiring collaborative efforts to address the issue effectively.
