Wasting away: Sea urchins suffer deformities from plastic chemicals
by Claire Wordley on 17 February 2021
Chemicals found both in new plastics and those washed up on a U.K. beach caused deformities in sea urchin larvae, according to a new study in the journal Environmental Pollution.
Sea urchin larvae raised in water tainted by chemicals found in plastics showed serious deformities; plastics that had never been chemically treated did not cause deformities.
Chemicals are added to some plastics to enhance their properties, while plastics at sea can accumulate and concentrate chemicals already polluting the oceans.
Researchers say more needs to be done to prevent plastics from reaching the ocean.
