This finding underscores the pervasive nature of plastic pollution, which has now been identified in some of the most remote and pristine environments, from the deepest ocean trenches to the highest mountain peaks, and even in human breastmilk.<\/p>\n<p>The study, conducted with researchers from local and Taiwanese universities, analyzed 100 fecal samples from various wildlife species, including buffalo, boars, wild cattle, macaques, and porcupines, collected from seven locations in Hong Kong in 2022. It found that 85 percent of these samples contained microplastics.<\/p>\n<p>The Greenpeace study identified polyethylene and polypropylene as the most common types of microplastics in the samples. These materials are typically found in single-use packaging, takeaway containers, and disposable utensils.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/menafn.com\/1108650835\/Greenpeace-says-microplastic-particles-detected-in-waste-samples-from-Hong-Kong-wildlife\">MenaFM<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-589\/\">Greenpeace says microplastic particles detected in waste samples from Hong Kong wildlife<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,3166,6437,1173],"class_list":["post-133632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-greenpeace","tag-microplastic","tag-wildlife"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133632\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
