Calculations have shown that 10 per cent of all plastic produced around the world ultimately ends up in the oceans. As a result, a large majority of global marine debris is in fact plastic waste. Human production of plastics is a well-known environmental concern, but few studies have studied the effects of tiny plastic particles, known as nanoplastic particles.

"Our study is the first to show that nanosized plastic particles can accumulate in fish brains," says Tommy Cedervall, a chemistry researcher at Lund University.
​
The Lund University researchers studied how nanoplastics may be transported through different organisms in the aquatic ecosystem, i.e. via algae and animal plankton to larger fish. Tiny plastic particles in the water are eaten by animal plankton, which in turn are eaten by fish.

This is a very important article and this needs to be viral on every social media because people nowadays care less about our environment specially the ocean and with this article it can help people be aware that throwing plastics at the ocean can cause the fish to die and have a brain damage. People need to start caring about our environment and start making actions on how to take good care of it. We need to cooperate and participate in the projects that could help save the world.

I strongly agree about this article. Problem about plastic is a problem in many countries in the world. Proper waste management is also a problem because people don't have discipline when it comes to waste management, they don't care what will be the result if they continue to destroy our environment. Sea creatures are dying because of plastics, they thought plastic is food or simply they don't know at all. In the end they die because of eating too much plastic.
