Scientists are sounding the alarm: all sea salt is contaminated with plastic

Scientists have discovered that sea salt brought from different parts of the Earth, there are always plastic particles.

They think it is a consequence of the total environmental pollution.

Plastic particles contain sea salt from France, UK, USA, Spain and China. Experts believe, of microplastics in it, was able to penetrate into human food. The main source of ocean pollution scientists believe a huge amount falling back disposable plastic bottles and microfibers.

According to experts, in the world’s oceans annually gets about 12.7 million tonnes of plastic. This means that every minute there unloads its contents by one garbage truck. According to scientists, a result of the contamination of sea salt with plastic is that now he’s everywhere. Not only seafood, but including beer and salt. How figured out the experts, even if the person consumes in a day is only 2.3 grams, this means that for the year as his body gets more than 660 micro-plastic particles. In fact, they suggest, this figure is much higher, as, for example, in the United States up to 90% of Americans consume salt in much higher quantities.

The consequences of how trapped in the body plastic is going to affect human health is still unknown. At the same time, most scientists believe plastics can not be assimilated in the food chain and bring a lot of toxins.
