DAILY MAIL UK ONLINE: SCIENCE THAMES RIVER MICROPLASTIC and CRABS
EXCERPT: Researchers found that 94,000 microplastic particles - many from larger pieces of plastic broken down - were flowing through parts of the Thames every second.
These also included fibers from washing machine outflows and sewage outfalls - with much of it being swallowed by local wildlife including various crab species.
The density of microplastics in the Thames was higher than some other major rivers including the Rhine in Germany, the Danube in Romania, and the Chicago in the U.S.
