Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Microplastics are presented at both the highest and deepest points on Earth. The tiny pieces of plastics had previously
been discovered in the 11-kilometre-deep Mariana trench in the Pacific Ocean and have now been detected on Mount
Everest. This is the first time that microplastics, bits of plastic less than 5 millimeters across that can come from the
breakdown of larger items, have been detected on Everest.
Imogen Napper at the University of Plymouth, UK, and colleagues collected eight 99-millilitre samples of stream water
and eleven 300-millilitre samples of snow from different points on the mountain. The team found microplastics in all of
the snow samples and three of the stream samples. The results were released in the November 2020 New Science
magazine.
“Even though the research on Mount Everest was really exciting and getting the samples was incredible, you are secretly
hoping not to find any because you want the environment to be pristine,” says Napper.
Most microplastics found on Mount Everest came from synthetic fibres, including polyester and acrylic, which are used to
make clothes and gear that trekkers rely on. Just walking around for 20 minutes, washing our clothes or opening a plastic
bottle can release microplastics into the environment.
“What we don’t yet fully know is the potential problems these tiny pieces of plastic could be having to ecosystems, to
organisms and even to our own health as well,” says Christian Dunn at Bangor University in the UK.
Because of their size, it is incredibly difficult to get rid of microplastics. According to Napper, the focus needs to be on
technological advances to stop their further spread. “Rather than mopping up the floor continuously, what we need to do
to solve the problem of an overfilling bath is just turn off the tap.”
