Plastic Chemicals From Ocean 'In Food Chain'

Dr Robbie Smith, from the Bermuda Natural History Museum, warned plastic rubbish is attracting other chemical pollutants washed into the sea - such as flame retardants and pesticides - as sunlight breaks plastic down and waves churn it into tiny fragments. Because the plastic pieces look so similar to the natural prey of marine animals, the chemicals then get passed up the food chain. Dr Smith said: "The more we look where plastic is and the form it's in, big or small, the stronger it is integrated into food webs."The only place it can go once it is in the food web is up to the top, and we are sitting at the top. So we have the most to lose here."
