Posted by ArielTechGeek 250 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Microplastics. We've found them in the Arctic sea and even frozen into the ice. The Mariana Trench, the deepest part of all our oceans, is polluted with plastic debris. Mount Everest has microplastic contamination. Our drinking water and food, especially processed foods in single-use packaging, are contaminated with microplastics. Recent studies have found microplastics in our blood, lungs, liver
Microwave technique recovers 87% of batteries' lithium in 15 minutes
