Scientists are getting worried about the impact of plastic trash on people's health and sea life They found a shocking amount of plastic stuck in the ice in the Arctic In samples taken from five places on trips to the Arctic Ocean they discovered up to twelve thousand tiny troublesome plastic pieces in every liter of sea ice This is up to three times more than they find in the Pacific garbage patch According to a groundbreaking study it's staggering that at least one trillion pieces of plastic have frozen into the Arctic ice over recent decades Experts express genuine concern about the uncertain and potentially severe effects this level of plastic pollution might inflict on human health and marine life The consequences of plastic debris extend to marine life with fish and birds frequently confusing these plastic bits for food causing harm to sea creatures and infiltrating the human food chain Microplastics pervasive in the ocean's surface waters create an omnipresent challenge leaving no haven Shifting our attention to Antarctica this frozen continent has captivated explorers and scientists for centuries.
