<p>
Sunlight, wind and waves break down plastic debris into smaller and smaller pieces that eventually become microplastics. Exfoliants in the health and beauty industry and the synthetic fibres used in clothes and textiles also contribute to microplastic pollution. Microplastics harm marine life – they are ingested by sea animals that mistake them for food. This then enters the human food chain.
<p>
Learn how the IAEA and its partners are helping scientists to improve how they measure this phenomenon worldwide, through an example of IAEA technical cooperation in Latin America and the Caribbean.
