DEADLY MICROPLASTICS?
fish is the primary source of protein for nearly one-fifth of the human population. the microplastics ingested by fish and crustaceans can be subsequently consumed by humans as the end of the food chain
microplastics find their way to human consumption not only from sea food but also from table salt. researchers in china tested three types of table salt samples available in supermarkets and found the presence of microplastics in all of them
polyethylene terephthalate (PET), dimethyl sulfide, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene, phthalate &
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are some of the "environmentally-toxic" components / ingredients (plasticizers) of a plastic
which of these components / ingredients (plasticizers) of a plastic has strong potential to be carcinogenic / mutagenic (esp. the liver) when consumed by aquatic organisms and ultimately consumed by humans in the food chain?
which of these components / ingredients (plasticizers) of a plastic that is considered to be "endocrine disruptors" (affect the testes) and metabolic disrupters (affect the liver)?

In my opinion, this is among the most important things humanity can do for the planet.
For itself. The planet is fine.
Youre right, but it never had to be this way, if we just never disposed plastic in the water...
@@hotclaw
Not only for itself, but also for nature. If the planet becomes just another dead rock you can still define the planet as fine, but you could argue it is not if you put it in contrast with what it was before.
A hose pipe with a cloth on it isn't going to do shit
I think they might be misusing their time on this effort today. The faucet is still running and getting worse, and they’re focused on getting towels on the floor. I just hope there is an equivalent or greater amount of brain talent working towards preventing plastics from being dumped into the oceans around the world in the first place. Get that faucet turned off.
Glad someone is doing something about it
Cross This is great and all but you always hear about these types of things but then you never hear about them again. Normally because they either don’t work or run out of money.
absolutely

Such a breath of fresh air to see this, after watching plastic ocean on Netflix, I thought we were doomed, this is a glimmer of hope, THANK YOU!!!
Remember his name: Boyan Slat. Another hero of our time. Thanks mate for keeping our faith in humankind.
What if we do both? Put less waste into the environment (recycle more and/or use less plastic), and clean up the existing waste. I think this is possible.
@ I think education to Asian countries would go along way. Australia having the largest ocean boundaries see pollution to the ocean as a criminal act. If the Great Barrier Reef dies than so do we.This gives me hope for our future.
You remember his name.
Amen bro

Don't STOP. You Guys are saving the planet
Your comment is tempting:
CAPTAIN PLANET!
HES THE HERO,
GONNA TAKE POLLUTION NOW TO ZERO!
This is the literal drop in the bucket. The patch is 2x the size of TEXAS and Texas is huge. Its almost 290,000 square miles.
mazimadu omg I adore your comment!💕
the world needs more people and companies like you guys
This has restored my faith in humanity
This comment didn't restore my hatred,
you can't blame the whole world for this and it's the corporations and goverment fault for making a huge controversy to this.
I just said the same thing in a previous video about this. We really can do great things. And now is definitely the time for humanity to step up. But seeing this restored my faith for sure.
Absolutely fantastic.
The cleaning IS the fantastic part Steve.
Um, Kinda fantastic.
Yes, I agree.
But I have seen so called 'environmental activists' complaing about this technology. The fact is they don't care about solving the problem, they just want to control us.
About 4 - 5 years ago I did a project on Boyan and the Ocean clean up. At the time I thought it was a great idea that would most likely never happen but it's great to see how hard they've worked to make it a reality.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE FIRST TO A REALISTIC EFFORT TO CLEAN OUR OCEAN, LOVE MOTHER EARTH
Humans will put more plastic in the ocean quicker than they can clean it
They should also concentrate on the problem of how the plastic is getting into the ocean in the first place?
josoapification remember we have had 2 major tsunamis in the Pacific lately, S.E. Asia and Japan! These pulled every piece of plastic out of these cities into the sea!
And to reduce the amount of produced plastic. We can use orher materials for crafting things as the plasric bottles for water or other drinks, or of course to prevent the usage of plastic bags in more countries, that would help a lot.
Agreed
They?
No that's a long-term solution. We're not good at that
I do my part, I never litter and occasionally pick up others trash
This one time i crashed my car into the river, i was so drunk that night. I remember my car leaking fluid and i could see the water changing color because if this. I alao went back the next day to try and hid the evidence and remember seeing 100's of dead fish where my car hit the water
@@KingTheGermanShepherd Consideing it was a river any fluids would have flowed down stream and away from the point of impact, any dead fish you saw the next day were likely not killed by your car's fluids.
pizzamon 79 same! 😊
lol you aren't doing shit fam
@@warblesnow7925 omg are we actually getting to a point that humans are assuming that other humans aren't doing good because it's so "rare" for humans to do good these days? Like is it so surprising to see a human help the planet? This should be a normal thing that you should be doing too. Don't assume that this person doesn't do it just because you aren't doing it.
Astonishing. Better late than never. But we also have to stop throwing up trash in the ocean!
That will have an even greater impact!
What people do not realise, is that alot of plastic (and other trash) gets into the ocean by hurricanes, typhoons, floodings etc. Especially in poor countries they do not handle all the (plastic)thrash that well so it gets easily flodded into the ocean. So its also necessary to build recycling facilities in those countries next to cleaning up the ocean.
Lets have Elon Musk send it to space instead.
90% of all plastic waste in the oceans comes from just 10 rivers, 8 in China and India, one in Africa, one in Vietnam. Teaching them not to dump their waste in the next river would be 90% of the solution.
Almost all the plastic in the oceans comes from five countries, all in Asia; China, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. These five contribute more of the plastic pollution than the rest of the world combined.
Awesome! I see people in my neighborhood, far from the ocean, but a stones throw from a large river, and that inspires me to do the same.
hope they make even more ocean cleanup systems for every ocean and later on maybe ai controlled ones
There are quite a few companies working on systems or already have systems working on cleaning up. Private sector is the key, not government.
Huge garbage patch in the middle of the ocean......not one picture of it. Propaganda
Yes do support them with money, look at their website.
I'm glad somebody is tackling the problem. ✌️But does anybody find it quite ironic that one of the solutions to ridding the ocean's of plastics is indeed to drop a giant piece of plastic into the ocean? 😁
Not really. Because no animal is big enough or strong enough to chew on the tube. It’s also designed to be robust so that it doesn’t break into tiny pieces and it’s resilient against degradation.
Just like we need anti venom from snakes to treat snake bites. Lol.
Plastic isn't inherently evil. The way we choose to use it matters.
@@AlqGo you have not considered the risk of a sharknado. Climate change works in mysterious ways. Crazy how nature do that.
RubsNL wooow so sharknado is real? God damn I thought it was fa...oh wait I didn’t even know this word! Jokes aside, according to the company, it’s designed to withstand a “once-in-a-100-year storm”.
Is there any way a cargo sized ship can process the plastic on site to melt it into large blocks that would be easier to ship to shore? Some of the plastic can even be melted into fuel for the ship, making it self sustaining.
I live near canyons and creeks --- whenever I'm near these water sources I make an effort to pull trash out of the creek beds! I think it's important to make efforts in any way possible. Thank you!
I always pick up two or three pieces every time I go to the ocean. If we all spent two minutes it would change everything.
Good work 👍🏼
A big 👍 for boyan slat and the his team "ocean clean up".
Can you shot a scene longer than 1 second?
Bless your heart for seeing a major problem within our oceans and taking action! Wish I could be out there helping you on your mission!
Big salute..for the great effort to the ocean clean up team .
This is awesome, San Francisco can also start cleaning up the turds on all the sidewalks
First you have to clean up the turds running the city. I mean ruining the city. Start with the mayor and fire everyone under her!
@@colejohnson3705 We need to clean the turds out of pretty much every elected office. If you ask them "what's your job" And they respond with "I'm the (insert publicly elected office title)" They need to be canned.

Having one of these u shaped structures at the mouth of large rivers would capture the reported 90% of plastics that go into the ocean. Excellent idea for every harbor as well. Encircle the bay to prevent garbage from drifting out to sea.
They have floating boats that hang out in the best flow area of rivers so other vessels can pass. Check out their site on this vessel. It’s amazing.
In principle I totally concur. Question: how to keep the device out of the way of shipping...
Human beings will survive because of such selfless service done by kind heart
Everyone involved in this project, no matter how great or how small... Thank you so very much!
This should be trending. God bless and all the best.
This is the greatest thing we need to continue doing this for land and water
Thank you for the wonderful work you guys are doing. Awesome!!
Great project! Glad to see someone is tackling it from this side. Even though trash ends up going into the ocean everyday, we can't just let it sit there and breakdown. Also happy to see others working to prevent plastic from getting into rivers, oceans, etc. I'm optimistic that all of these initiatives will converge over time to reduce the amount of pollution overall.
I think you are doing very good job and all are supportes this type of work, we will definately clean the ocean and appreciate this type people and "pls do not through the plastic on ocean again".
Hats off to you Boyan!!
All the very best to you for this Project!!
Thanks for your help...
It was a great day filled with surprises when I saw you and our HELP going out the Golden Gate
Thank YOU and You and You...
BEAUTIFUL!! LOVE IT ! NEEDS TO BE DONE ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
This is amazing thank you 👍
A truly inspiring video. I wish the operation all the best of luck. One other thing - if any of the garbage is traced to ships dumping it etc. the largest possible penalties should be levied against the owners.
If each one of us could convince just one person to buy less plastic, we could create a collective change :) Whose in?
I'm in.. I get physically sick when I go to the store and I see EVERY single person walk out with a 24 pack of water bottles or more sometimes it's like 2-3 packs... How can they do that???? What's the plan?
It is good to see people caring for the well being of earth and our future
Run this around Washington DC and remove all of the excrement.
They have tried but the dems are still there
Amen. The world hates them to. To turn against there own people to not protect us but attack us. There going to be left fighting ww3 alone.
Amazing work! Glad to see someone is finally cleaning up the oceans 🌊!
Thank you very, very much for taking care of us! Thank you so much!
LOVE IT. IM WITH YOU GUYS. Even My research paper for final exam was about ocean cleaning. 💕Love and Support from international student who studies in Korea💕💕💕
Nice and thank you for effort to clean the ocean
Thank you guys it’s about time humanity cared about this precious irreplaceable resource.
So it is basically a massive sweeper GREAT👏👏👏
Good idea! , But one thing comes to my mind:
If the ocean cleanup is propelled only by nature it will travel at roughly the speed of the garbage around it... If that is true it wont catch that much of garbage as it sounds , maybe it is better to but sails or some kind of propelling device onto the system.
Keep going and design the future!
Greetings Chuonon
Chuonon from what I understand, they have data about ocean currents etc. that helps them predict how the plastic moves, calculate where to launch the cleanup systems, and so on. Notice how much they talk about data? This technology is not just the rafts that you can see - a key ingredient is data processing. I think they are ambitious, but I believe they can achieve their goal :-)
@@RasmusSchultz Okay assume they have komplex computer models which take currents and winds in account.They would still face the problem that the waste will follow the same route as the unit, im not a native speaker , so i have missed some explanation in the video, but as i understood it , the problem is not specifically adressed with this test unit.
Anyway are computermodels limited especially in high current areas in the middle of the pacific , there are a lot of omitted variables which could bias the estimation of the direction and force of currents and winds.
You should submit a question and ideas to them. Its something to think about...
Given the size and shape of the cleanup device, it may well travel at a different rate then the relatively small bits of plastic it’s trapping in the net. I don’t think it would take much difference in speed for the garbage to accumulate in the net over time. Just my educated guess.
@@midiotsavant i don't say it will not catch any waste , i just say it could be more effective.I know that there will be a diffrence in speed bit it's hard to quantify the diffrence and if you are trying to get business done , you schould at least try and cobtroll the things that are happening. And In which way is your guess "educated"?
♥️♥️♥️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️ love this so much. I wish I had money. I would put money into cleaning the ocean. This has always been on my heart is cleaning our ocean. Thanks to ppl who have money to do this
Just buy one of their sunglasses made from this plastic. They are $199 and are a great help to them .
This must needed project to do thank you guys ..i wish you all the best keep doing this must needed work...
We all use plastic and we simply cannot live without it. Habit of disposing plastic into ocean must change - it is crucial to understand sustainability of safekeeping the environment. Big hats off to the Ocean Cleanup!!
Excellent, a desperately needed Emergency, Multi-National World-Wide Project. Congratulations/Godspeed!
Would love to see this project funded by all nations. Great idea and definitely needed.
This is amazing. Please don’t give up! We need this! And thank you! So much!
Thank you very much Boyan Slat and team! You are all heros :)
Who in their right mind would give this a dislike!?
People can be really dumb. Mostly I'm betting it's people thinking - oooh that's bad, I don't like the state of the sea with all that plastic in it...
Thumbs down!
Aaah feel better.

@Donald Kasper your the dumbest person that I know
@Donald Kasper but at least you believe in vaccines
Nice work. It needs doing, but isn't it like mopping up a flooding bathroom without turning off the tap. You will be doing this forever. The stuff has to be prevented from entering the oceans in the first place. It's done a lot of damage on it's way to the patch.
No shit, Sherlock
Ffs......
That’s a great mission toward nature and aquatic life. Hats up
Thank you for making an effort to clean our oceans.
I went to a island last week in the Pacific that has no waste disposal system. They literally were dumping the trash into the river which took the trash directly to the sea.... maybe prevention would be better than the cure??
No money in prevention
noxin86 So I guess, as you were there, you confronted the locals? ....or?
@@ronkalkhoven2119
Sure did, they said they had no waste disposal system no body came to collect the trash at all. Tipping the waste into the river was the disposal system.
Very sad when I walked along the beach, I could see plastic items scattered everywhere for as far as you could walk.
Maybe Ill edit some of my footage and post it on ebay.
@@noxin86
Sounds like a good place for you to start up a waste disposal business... Assuming you can somehow turn a profit out of it. Otherwise you will just go bankrupt.
Thank you. Now if we could outlaw plastic bags and reduce plastic packaging.

Don't ever discount "non-expert" concepts and ideas.
yeah thats why it was a total flop and didnt work at all
@@morrisl7
It does work. They just had to refine the design.
@@timgreen4137 prove it? Wheres the statistics? They are barely removing anything, the smallest plastic they get out is 1mm, most of it is way smaller than that.
@@morrisl7
I read a news article about it. It will take years for it to clean it up "entirely". But they have already removed thousands of tons of plastic using this system. They even installed sea anchors to slow it, and help steer it.
Go for it! No one else is coming up with a better plan to execute right now. Why would anyone complain? I wish you the very best of luck because right now...Ocean Cleanup, you’re my only hope.
I follow this project for some time now. It is getting better and better. It will work. At first Boyan Slate was laughed at, then they told the world it was too difficult and costly. Well... they were wrong. Look what those people had accomplished. Wow.
Does it clean up Fukushima radioactive waste from the out of control meltdowns that continue to pour into the pacific ocean?
Finally someone who cares about the environment that I love the most
Thank you for doing this
I am so proud that our President wants to support this Ocean cleanup and has got the support he needs to invest millions towards the cleanup.
1st step: Stop throwing trash in the ocean
Ur Mom stroms have a lot to do with it to
Most of the plastic trash is thrown at some unattended places which later gets carried away with rainwater into streams, which then get merged into rivers and finally enters into ocean.
The largest problem is third world countries whose governments have not come up with a viable waste collection and disposal system. Because of that people have nowhere to put their trash except outside - wherever. Then, when it rains, that plastic floats on the rainwater to the streams and rivers and out to the ocean.

How can i work in your projects,,am from India and an Engineer
We need to use a plastic that once it hits ocean seas Walter it courses it's self to disappear like ASID eats rust .
Plastics are fibreous molecules and filler, somewhat like reinforced concrete, the fillers are harmful by themselves, and when they leach from the composite the fibres are let loose and become harmful by themselves
This is finally happening thanks you so much
This is like cleaning a land fill with a spoon. But it's a start and true heroes in every sense of the word. These people are awesome.
I remember when they went to plastic bags at the grocery store to save trees, now they want me to use paper and to stop using plastic, to keep it out of the ocean ?
You can recycle paper. You can't recycle a lot of plastic types. Only PET.
Ignorance is why we have a garbage problem in nature.
@@MartyGlaubitz Actually, all plastic that has been made since they invented it, is still on this planet. It doesn't dissappear like paper. It just gets broken down into micro pieces.
Well that’s not true a lot of it is incinerated for power with filters to stop the soot, I can’t remember which Scandinavia country it is but one of them got so good at it that it imports rubbish to burn for power
Yes! You can switch to reusable bags for the market and such...
Marty Glaubitz no shit Sherlock. You missed the point.
Good from holland a good country whit a lot of coffeeshops and red light district love you dutch people 😎🙏🙌
This brings joy to my heart.🌼
Thank you for being the change.
...About time 😁 Now , get the multinational corporations and big industry to pay for it.
What they are doing is great but I think the governments should ask those greedy corporates to fund these kind of inciatives cause they are the reason for most of the pollution
Boyan, thank you for doing this! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks and hugs to all the companies doing the clean up.
Agree humans need pockets, carry trash 🗑bags , something to carry their trash.
While babysitting I taught recycling. While outside, I carried a bag, anyone caught dropping anything had go back and get it, while we waited. That was the hardest part, the waiting. It worked. Noone had to wait once the use of a bag became normal.
Someone encourage Bill Gate to invest in these type of projects. Thank You
Bill Gates has built a huge machine which extracts CO2 from the atmosphere. FANTASTIC, you might say. What they don't tell you is the CO2 collected is then SOLD to greenhouse farmers to increase the CO2 level to 800-1000 ppm for better food generation. He is one of the biggest hypocrites on Earth
Are they working to prevent this from being deposited in the ocean in the first place?
No because they can not stop the industry. That is up to the leaders of our world.
They can influence whatever global authority is looking at the issue. They can also influence the government. Certainly, a clean environment and a navigable ocean is in everyone's best interest. If they can get the Chinese transport ships use cleaner fuels that pollute less, they can reduce the amount of garbage coming out of their rivers.
@@525Lines Its a start, maybe. There lies the issue. If governing leaders dont care they wont do anything.
jody024 In a rich target environment of issues, it's hard to pick something but once enough people ask for change, it'll change. We used to have automotive graveyards that were massive. I remember seeing them when I was a kid. Lady Bird Johnson said we should do something. They made changes. The junkyards got crushers and rippers to process cars. Things can and do change when enough people see the necessity.
The problem: leaders who do not believe our planet needs help.
The ocean cleanup is more than just a company it's also a wonderful success story
Oh.... My.... God.... This is epic. I'm very glad, I'm very happy. Save the earth. Thank you so much for all people that work hard, for make this epic technology.
The issue: only 1% of the waste is floating in those 3 meters, 99% are in deeper water so what this basically does is making the ocean look clean without being clean
Lukas Rohrmoser It’s all about perception
Would you mind giving me a link to an article bit speaks about that. Please do not take it the wrong way I just want to read about it. I also wouldn't mind if it isn't exactly a scientific paper but something referencing one.
It's not perfect but it's something that is helping the world. Please post your link so we can see how you are helping.
Woah that is some serious claim you got here. Care to share your source?
Misericordia If you’re familiar with ghost nets, this isn’t far fetched at all. It’s very basic physics: when an abandoned net becomes heavy with debris and biomass, it sinks to the bottom of the ocean. All the heavier pieces are at lower depths.

Now we need more ways to use the plastic recovered.
