The Plastic In Paint From The Paint Industry Is Massively Polluting the Ocean

...The study’s findings suggest that paint could be the largest single source of microplastic pollution—accounting for 1.9 million tons, or 58 percent of the total volume—being deposited into the world’s oceans. (This amount, according to the report, vastly exceeds previous estimates of between 9 and 21 percent.) Just as concerning, perhaps, is that of the 18 million tons of plastic contained in paint, 40% or 7.4 million tons, will eventually leak out to the environment. According to an estimate from the World Economic Forum, the number of microplastics that find their way to the ocean every year by way of paint flaking from steel surfaces is equivalent to the plastic of 150 to 225 billion empty plastic bottles, MicroPlastic's These tiny fragments are turning up in the deepest oceans to the highest mountaintops—literally. A 2020 study in the journal One Earth by researchers from the University of Plymouth found microplastic fibers in ice and snow samples taken from the summit of Mt. Everest. In a study from the same year, Australian researchers reported finding microplastics along the seafloor of the Great Australian Bight, on the continent’s south coast, at depths exceeding 10,000 feet. Microplastic is not merely languishing in the environment but is being ingested by organisms at various levels of the food web. Oxford researchers, for example, found microplastics in a host of deep-sea-dwelling organisms, including sea cucumbers, hermit crabs, and lobsters, Microplastics are turning up everywhere—including inside of us, The EA report provides a staggering glimpse of where much of this blizzard of plastic is coming from. Regionally speaking, according to its findings, Asia contributes the greatest proportion, 54 percent, of all paint-derived plastic. The EA study also found that architectural sources—concrete buildings, wood-frame houses, bridges, and other structures—contribute almost half of the overall total of microplastic “leakage.” (This chaff comes from not only the exteriors of buildings but also the interiors.) It is death by a million cuts. Even the seemingly modest amount of paint used in road striping accounts for a full 2 percent of paint-derived plastic pollution, ETC!!!
