BRUSSELS: Seafood aficionados are consuming around 11,000 petit bits of plastic per annum, claimed pundits from the University of Ghent in Belgium.

Savants, while conducting the study, came to know that deadly micro-plastics, is being imbibed by species living in the ocean.

Due to this, if you ingest excessive seafood, these detrimental micro-plastics will stuck and store in the abdomen sooner or later.

Elaborating on this further, the study senior investigator Dr. Colin Janssen noted that tissues in the body could absorb such micro-plastics.

They stressed that the situation is going out of hands with the escalation of ocean effluence.

It is pertinent to mention here that oceans, all around the globe, are being polluted with over five trillion particles of micro-plastics.  In a minute, one truck, stuffed with trash and plastic, is being discarded into the ocean.

If the situation remains persistent, the seafood admirers could intake up to 780,000 pieces of plastic each year by the end of the century, warned the experts.

P.S. These outcomes must be disturbing for Karachiites, as they are already consuming a lot of plastic particles via fumes produced by garbage burning on a daily basis.

All appeals to the higher-ups apropos taking preventive measures have gone in vein.
