Microplastic pollution has reached the peak of Everest, the highest mountain in the world. In 2018, the deepest point of the world was once again proven that the plastic trash detected in Mariana Pitu had managed to pollinate all points of the planet of mankind.


] According to the news of the Guardian newspaper; small plastic fibers were found at a point known as a balcony, near the top of the 8 thousand 850 meters mountain. In addition, all the snow samples collected from 11 locations in the section up to 8 thousand 440 meters height of the mountain. The findings show that the highest microplastic concentration is located around the main camp, where mountainers and walkers spend the most time.. Science thinks people can come from clothes, tents and ropes of the mountains of plastic fibers. [

Imogen Napper from the Plymouth University, leading to new research, noted that it really surprised him to find microplastics in every snow for example that they analyzed. Napper is a place where I think that “Everest Mount is always away and intact. Even a place close to the top of the highest mountain, it really talks to know that we pollute.
