#世界环境日#[塑料世界：微塑料危机]塑料污染已成为日益严重的全球性问题，亚洲也常被视为欧美垃圾的倾倒地。微塑料，即由大型塑料分解而来的微小颗粒尤其令人担忧，它们几乎遍布全球海洋和海滩，影响着海洋生物并渗入食物链。在欧洲，即便是清洁的水域也难逃其害，对贻贝养殖等产业造成冲击。研究表明，微塑料使贻贝的过滤率减半，并干扰其生物功能。生态影响进一步延伸至微藻等初级生产者，危及生态环境中的氧气生产，表明了生态危机正在日渐加剧。Plasticpollutionisagrowingglobalissue,withAsiaoftenthedumpinggroundforwastefromEuropeandtheUnitedStates.Microplastics,tinyfragmentsfromlargerplastics,areespeciallyconcerning.Theyarefoundinoceansandbeachesworldwide,affectingmarinelifeandmovingupthefoodchain.InEurope,evenpristinewatersarecontaminated,affectingindustrieslikemusselfarming.Studiesrevealmicroplasticshalvethefiltrationratesofmusselsandaffecttheirbiology.Theecologicalimpactextendstoprimaryproducers,suchasmicroalgae,whicharecrucialforoxygenproduction,indicatingaworseningglobalcrisis.
