De la NASA a la empresa familiar en Isdin

Todo se hace pequeño”, explica Juan Naya (Villanueva de Sijena, 1968). Consejero delegado de Isdin desde el 2015, Naya estudió Física en Barcelona y se doctoró en astrofísica en el Centro de Estudios Espaciales de Toulouse. Allí, estudiando rayos gamma, recibió una oferta de la NASA que buscaba un experto en ese campo. “Trabajaba en el Space Fight Center en Maryland, cerca de Washington, en un campus donde trabajan más de 8.000 personas, una verdadera ciudad”.

Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial / Servicios / Gestión de Proyectos Online. New Study Shows Plastic in Oceans Is on the Rise. PUBLISHED February 13, 2015 Scientists have come up with a new way to measure ocean trash—and the numbers are even worse than thought.

New Study Shows Plastic in Oceans Is on the Rise

In 2010, eight million tons of plastic trash ended up in the ocean from coastal countries—far more than the total that has been measured floating on the surface in the ocean's "garbage patches. " That's the bad news. The even worse news is that the tonnage is on target to increase tenfold in the next decade unless the world finds a way to improve how garbage is collected and managed.

The findings are part of a groundbreaking study published Thursday in Science that for the first time quantifies how much garbage flows into the world's oceans every year. Until now, most efforts to measure ocean debris have involved sample counts of plastic floating on the surface in large garbage patches in each of the world's oceans. "The size of the discrepancy is huge—20 to 2,000 times more than the range of estimates of floating debris.

New Study Shows Plastic in Oceans Is on the Rise. Wax Worms Eat Plastic. But Can They Clean Up Our Trash Pollution? Each year, the world produces 300 million tons of plastic, much of which resists degradation and ends up polluting every corner of the globe.

Wax Worms Eat Plastic. But Can They Clean Up Our Trash Pollution?

But a team of European scientists may have found a unique solution to the plastic problem. They discovered that a common insect can chew sizable holes in a plastic shopping bag within 40 minutes. “This study is another milestone discovery for the research on biodegradation of plastics,” says Wei-Min Wu, an environmental engineer at Stanford University. The discovery was led by Federica Bertocchini, a developmental biologist at the University of Cantabria in Spain.

She first noticed the possibility as she cleaned out her backyard bee hives two years ago. She removed some wax worms (Galleria mellonella) living in the hive and placed them in an old plastic bag. The larval form of a small moth, wax worms get their names because they live on the wax in bee hives. Solving the Mystery Searching for a Solution. Drowning in plastic. Drinking bottles are one of many types of plastic pollution currently causing environmental problems.

Drowning in plastic

Half of all plastic produced is designed to be used only once. The world produced about 380 million metric tons of plastic in 2015, according to research published in Science Advances journal. About 55% of that plastic waste was discarded, 25% incinerated and 20% recycled, meaning the majority of the bottles visualised above would likely end up in the environment, landfill sites, or oceans around the world. The amount recycled is even smaller when calculated over the past 65 years. A whopping 91% of plastic isn't recycled. This article was created in partnership with the National Geographic Society.

A whopping 91% of plastic isn't recycled

In December 2018, Great Britain's Royal Statistical Society named the core fact in this story—that only about nine percent of all plastic ever made has likely been recycled— its statistic of the year. Mass production of plastics, which began just six decades ago, has accelerated so rapidly that it has created 8.3 billion metric tons—most of it in disposable products that end up as trash. If that seems like an incomprehensible quantity, it is. Even the scientists who set out to conduct the world’s first tally of how much plastic has been produced, discarded, burned or put in landfills, were horrified by the sheer size of the numbers.

“This kind of increase would ‘break’ any system that was not prepared for it, and this is why we have seen leakage from global waste systems into the oceans,” she says. Coca-Cola, Nestlé, and PepsiCo are the world's biggest plastic pollute.

Pancaran daripada matahari termasuklah cahaya, haba dan sinaran UV. Matahari ialah sumber sinaran UV yang paling kuat di alam sekitar kita. Jumlah sinaran yang kecil adalah perlu untuk penghasilan vitamin D dalam badan manusia. Walau bagaimanapun, apabila terdedah secara melampau, ia akan memberikan kesan buruk jangka pendek dan jangka panjang pada kulit, mata dan sistem imun kita.

Sinaran UV merupakan sebahagian daripada spektrum elektromagnetik (cahaya) yang sampai ke bumi dari matahari dengan gelombang yang lebih pendek berbanding spektrum tampak. Apabila cahaya matahari menembusi atmosfera bumi, kesemua UVC dan lebih kurang 90% UVB diserap oleh ozon, wap air, oksigen dan karbon dioksida.
