Top Tweets for #PlasticSmog
Researchers are using existing data, including our paper quantifying the #PlasticSmog floating on the ocean's surface, to better understand how microplastics are affecting everything from the ocean's ability to cool the earth to our health.

(1/2) What is #PlasticSmog?
We often hear of a Texas-sized island of trash floating in the Pacific. The reality is much grimmer: a pervasive toxic smog, made up of 170 trillion plastic particles, permeating the global ocean.
Meet Captain Charles Moore -- one of the original plastic researchers, the person who discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and co-author on our latest research paper revealing the #PlasticSmog plaguing our seas.

Do you know how much plastic is in the world's oceans? 🤔 A new global estimate by #BreakFreeFromPlastic experts with @5gyres reveals there are more than 170 TRILLION plastic particles making up a #plasticsmog that weighs 2 million tonnes! https://t.co/LwIl95u2Lt

#PlasticSmog: @5gyres report reveals that more than 170 trillion plastic particles are afloat in the world’s oceans, covering plastic particles found on the ocean’s surface. Plastic particles also exist below the surface making the ocean’s overall plastic load much greater. 🐳

Data la notevole superficie specifica delle #microplastiche , contaminanti quali IPA e pesticidi si accumulano su di esse costituendo un cocktail tossico per ogni specie vivente.

Towards Global Treaty on Plastic Waste? #PlasticSmog & #climatechange: can we apply for a 2X1 discount offer? @nsim_berlin @lilifuhr https://t.co/3s8NzacJFv
322 million metric tons of plastic were produced in 2015. By 2050, it could be 4x higher | @nsim_berlin
