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.
