The oceans emit microplastic particles into the air during storms

The research shows that microplastic pollution is a universal phenomenon that is common everywhere, even in the most isolated regions of the world. Further research is needed to understand the effects of this pollution on human health and the environment

When the seabed is covered with plastic

Plastic continues to dominate every good plot: new research reveals that the amount of microscopic plastic on the ocean floor has tripled in just 20 years. Moreover, the microplastic at the bottom of the sea almost did not disintegrate

The oil slick that covered Israel's shores came from a ship carrying pirated oil from Iran to Syria

Environmental Protection Minister Gila Gamaliel: "We located the crude oil tanker that polluted the shores of Israel. It is owned by a Libyan and was carrying cargo from Iran to Syria. We will come to terms with the environmental criminal who polluted the shores of our country.

One of the worst ecological disasters in Israel - tar is released from the sea on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea

It is estimated that this is waste that was ejected from a tanker during the storm that hit the area in the middle of the past week * The Minister of Environmental Protection, Gila Gamaliel, in an assessment of the situation with the heads of the coastal authorities: "This is an event of the order of magnitude

What really happens in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea?

Salvina leaves examined in the new study. The research deals with the ability of different plants to absorb oils from the starting point that as long as humanity consumes oil for a variety of uses, we are exposed to threats of oil stains as a result of accidents in the processes of oil exploration, transportation, storage and of course its utilization.
