This marks the first time that glass reinforced plastic (GRP) particles, commonly used in boat manufacturing, have been detected entering the food chain.<\/p>\n<p>The study, published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials, found GRP particles in the soft tissues of oysters and mussels collected near an active boatyard in Chichester Harbour, a popular sailing destination in South England. Using micro Raman spectroscopy, researchers detected up to 11,220 fibreglass particles per kilogram in oysters and 2,740 particles per kilogram in mussels.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the typical weight of an oyster consumed being 20 grams and a mussel about 7.5 grams, the implication is that there could be up to approximately 225 GRP particles in an oyster and 20 in a mussel that\u2019s eaten. The research highlights the risks associated with the widespread use of GRP in boat manufacturing since the 1960s. While valued for its durability, GRP is notoriously difficult to dispose of properly, often leading to abandonment or improper disposal. This results in tiny glass particles entering the water, especially during peak boat maintenance seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/study-reveals-alarming-level-waste-fibreglass-marine-life\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-546\/\">Study reveals alarming level of waste fibreglass in marine life<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,15126,7517],"class_list":["post-132110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fibreglass","tag-marine-life"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132110\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
