Every minute in the world’s seas, waste of plastic is similar to a trash truck, and this amount is equal to 8 million tonnes per year. A new study report states that the pollution of sea-based pollution is only 10 major rivers. Christian Schmidt, research researcher, who is related to Germany’s Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research, told Voice of America it appears that the large river passes the plastic and these are the rivers where the population is more. You can reduce the amount of plastic by focusing on these rivers. Two of them are in Nile and Nigeria, while the other is in AsiaIncluding Ganges, Indus, and river yellow, Yangtze, Haihe, Pearl, Mekong and Amur. Researchers reviewed this study report that is related to pollution of the rivers and they fought against the waste which is not properly positioned in the surrounding areas of the rivers. Christian Schmidt further said that it is very easy in fact; you will have to improve the waste waste system especially in those developing countries. This economic growth is increasing. This problem is not limited to developed nations only worldwide. It is not so easy to estimate the environmental impact of plastic pollution in the oceans however, scientists are clear that it is affecting marine life. According to a recent report of the University of Ghent in Belgium, humans eat plastic pieces every year to seafood every year. An estimated 5% plastic is effectively recycled. During 2015 worldwide 32 million tonnes of plastic was made and by 2050 this amount could increase 4 times. Christian Schmidt and his colleagues believe that their investigative report will help to clear the pollution.
