POLLUTION OF THE WORLD OCEAN

The latest study of hydrogeologists from the Helmholtz Center in Germany showed that 88-95% of the total volume of plastic debris in the world's oceans falls on ten rivers, eight of which are in Asia.

These rivers were the Yangtze, the Indus, the Huang He, the Haihe, the Ganges, the Zhujiang, the Amur, the Mekong, and the African Niger and the Nile flowing in Asia.

The results of the study are similar to the report recently submitted, according to which, due to improper handling of garbage, most of the plastic waste enters the world's oceans from China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

The damage from pollution of the marine ecosystem is more than $ 7.9 billion.
