13132602. Concept image depicting the ocean pollution by plastic gloves
Concept image depicting the ocean pollution by plastic gloves and masks related with coronavirus disease. The Covid-19 crisis has spurred rapid production of surgical masks, gloves, and other protective equipment. Those are desperately-needed plastic products; governments are racing to boost their stockpiles and regular citizens clamoring for their share of supplies. Such production is necessary, but a great part of plastic ends up traveling through sewers and waterways to the sea. Date

Plastic Pandemic - When Masks and Gloves Take a Dive!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this concept image, the devastating impact of ocean pollution caused by discarded masks and gloves related to the Covid-19 crisis is vividly portrayed. As governments rush to stock up on essential protective equipment, our beloved sea pays an unfortunate price. With its striking blue hues tainted by contaminated seafood and marine life struggling for survival, this print serves as a powerful reminder of the global problem we face. Plastic waste from surgical masks, rubber gloves, sanitizer bottles, and other personal protective equipment finds its way into sewers and waterways before ultimately reaching our precious oceans. As we battle against respiratory syndrome viruses on land, it's disheartening to witness how they infect our seas too. Microplastics form insidious microbeds that harm marine wildlife while plastic bags and bottles create a hazardous gyre in nature's playground. Let us not forget that behind every mask lies a responsibility towards our environment. While these necessary precautions are crucial for public health safety during these uncertain times, let us also strive to dispose of them properly. By doing so, we can prevent further polluting our waters with these pollutants. So next time you don your mask or slip on those gloves – remember the sea is watching! Let's protect ourselves without harming Mother Nature because together we can make waves in fighting both the virus and plastic pollution!
