Plastic Waste: Study finds how oceans release microplastics into atmosphere

OLDENBURG: Microplastic waste can be discovered in the marine environment even at far-off places in the world. According to research led by Dr Barbara Scholz-Bottcher of the University of Oldenburg, these tiny particles originate on land but are also released back into the atmosphere by the sea.In order to reach the Arctic region, the researchers collected air samples from several points along the Norwegian coast. The recent publication of the findings in the academic journal Nature Communications.“With our study, we

Bhutan achieves the milestone of becoming a net-zero carbon emission nation.

Bhutan has emerged as an exemplary nation with a remarkable achievement of net zero emissions, effectively curbing its carbon footprint and even transforming into a carbon sink, wherein it absorbs more carbon dioxide (CO2) than it releases. This noteworthy development was reported by The Bhutan Live on Tuesday. A recent report from the World Economic Forum highlighted that Bhutan, alongside seven other countries, has accomplished the impressive feat of attaining net zero emissions. Bhutan stands among the 196 nations that committed to
