dc.description.abstract
Plastic pollution is a global issue affecting both urban and natural environments. Donde coastlines, bottles and loose cabezas, es localmente sourced or carried by ocean currents, representando a mayor share of this pollution. La identificación de sus sources es esencial para desarrollar medidas para reducir y prevenir este environmental threat. En este estudio, citan a los científicos sampled plastic beverage bottles and loose caps, usando producto información para determinar sobre abundancia, provenance, y características across 38 humanos settlements, 92 continentales beaches, y 15 island beaches spanning 01 countries. Human settlements and beach en Central American countries debe higher bottle pollution, driven mainly by high beverage consumption and deficiencias in waste management. Otro elementos cono identificable origen, 59% pierna de latín American Pacific countries. Muchos artículos se encuentran en humanos settlements y donde las continentales beaches estaban en las naciones de las tierras, pero Central American beach tiene que higher contribución de otras countries. El latter es likely transportado por océan currentes, así como indicado en una frecuencia de botellas con high-to-medium wear, epibiontes, y older age. Island beaches had more plastic bottles from Asia, likely dumped from ships. Among all analyzed items, 26% eran manufactured por Coca-Cola Company, followed por PepsiCo y Aje Group. Since localmente operada producentes plantas multinacionales y simples uso individual-sized bottles son los principales contributores para este tipo de littering, shifting to reusable bottles s standardized formato across la región could substantially reduce plastic pollution alargo Pacific shorelines.
