Amahlathi angcoliswa yi-microplastics engena enhlabathini evela emoyeni. Lokhu kuboniswe ocwaningweni olusha olwenziwe yi-TU Darmstadt, olushicilelwe ku- Nature Communications Earth & Environment . Okokuqala ngqa, kubonisa ukuthi inhlabathi yamahlathi igcina i-micro- kanye ne-nanoplastics, efana nolwandle noma umhlaba wezolimo.
Ososayensi bendawo bathola ukuthi izinhlayiya zepulasitiki zingena emahlathini ngokuyinhloko ngomoya. Zihlala eziqongweni zezihlahla futhi zithuthelwe phansi ehlathini ngemvula noma ukuwa kwamaqabunga. Ikakhulukazi emahlathini aluhlaza, izinhlayiya ziqoqana ezingqimbeni zenhlabathi ezijulile ngenxa yezinqubo zokubola. Izinto eziphilayo ezibola amaqabunga zikhuthaza lokhu kuthutha.
Ocwaningweni, ithimba lihlaziye amasampula enhlabathi asezindaweni ezine zamahlathi eduze kwaseDarmstadt lisebenzisa indlela entsha. Lokhu kwabavumela ukuba balinganise ama-microplastics enhlabathini, amaqabunga awile, kanye nama-deposit deposits. Abacwaningi baphinde balinganisela okokufaka kwe-microplastics kusukela ngawo-1950. Umphumela: Izimali ezifakwa emkhathini namaqabunga awile ziyimithombo eyinhloko, okunye okokufaka okudlala indima encane.
Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi amahlathi akhombisa ukungcoliswa kwe-microplastic emoyeni. Ngaphezu kokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, amapulasitiki amancane abangela olunye usongo esimisweni semvelo samahlathi. Okutholakele kungase futhi kube usizo ekuhloleni ubungozi bezempilo kuma-microplastics emoyeni esiwuphefumulayo.
