Did you know that the glitter we love could be seriously harming our oceans? A groundbreaking study from Trinity College Dublin, published in Environmental Sciences Europe, reveals that PET glitter disrupts the natural processes marine animals use to build their shells and skeletons. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: PET glitter acts as a base for calcium carbonate to crystallise rapidly, interfering with the natural shell-building processes of creatures like clams and corals. 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧: As minerals form, the glitter itself breaks down into even smaller microplastics, exacerbating ocean pollution. 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞: This disruption could weaken the structural integrity of marine organisms, with potentially devastating consequences for entire ecosystems. The research, led by Kristina Petra Zubovic and Dr. J.D. Rodriguez-Blanco, highlights the urgent need to understand and address microplastic pollution. The images from the study are particularly striking, showing the glitter becoming encrusted and broken down by mineral formation. Dr. Rodriguez-Blanco emphasises, "Microplastic pollution is a huge problem worldwide, and our study gives us important new information about how these plastics interact with natural processes in the ocean. We need to understand these interactions to figure out the full impact of microplastic pollution on marine life." Glitter, often made from PET plastic with metallic and dye coatings, easily enters our waterways and oceans due to its small size and light weight. This study shows the direct impact it has on the ocean’s chemical processes. This research underscores the importance of considering the environmental impact of everyday products. Let’s spark a conversation about sustainable alternatives and responsible consumption. 👉 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: https://lnkd.in/e93cREPr #MarinePollution #Microplastics #EnvironmentalScience #Sustainability #OceanConservation #TrinityCollegeDublin #Research #Science #PET #GlitterPollution

We are thrilled to share insights from Prof. Roger West of Trinity College Dublin, who delivered a powerful address at the Global Academic Leadership Summit in India! In a world facing complex environmental and social challenges, Prof. West emphasised that sustainability education must go beyond traditional environmental science.
