Although the La Pampilla Refinery, operated by Repsol, initially told the Peruvian Prosecutor's Office that the spill had been about seven gallons of crude oil, it has already affected several beaches and protected natural areas in the municipality of Ventanilla, in the constitutional province of Callao, which is adjacent to Lima. 'It has gone from being a small spill to being a disaster of proportions,' according to the mayor of Ventanilla, Pedro Spadaro.

epa10533863 Istanbul Municipality waste facility employee drives a bulldozer at Komurcuoda Solid Waste Disposal Facility outside Istanbul, Turkey, 23 January 2023 (issued 20 March 2023). According to Istanbul Municipality, Istanbul's daily waste production per person lies at 1.15 to 1.17 kilograms. The city produces some 9.3 million tons of garbage per year, including domestic, industrial and medical waste. 14.7 million tons of approximately 33 million tons of waste from European Union member countries are sent to Turkey for processing. According to the data of the European Statistical Office, Turkey ranks first in Europe's plastic waste exports with 28 percent. Plastic waste imports have increased 196 times in the last 16 years. Istanbul Municipality environmental engineer Kubilay Kaya say they collect between 19,000 and 20,000 tons of waste generated together with the recyclable wastes from the district municipalities. Recyclable parts are processed to produce raw material for industry and organic parts are processed to produce soil conditioner compost and electricity. A total of 1,306,116 MWh of electrical energy was produced from solid waste in one year with solid waste recycling management. EPA/SEDAT SUNA ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET

Bags full of the soil are piled up in fields, gardens and on the roadside. .The most highly contaminated elements will form a temporary storage mountain 50 meters high and covering 16 square kilometers. The final storage site and disposal will be complete by 2045. .The government has changed the radiation limits so that soil with levels less than 8000 becquerels per kilogram can be used for road construction in Japan, while the International Atomic Energy Agency's standard for radioactive waste that needs to be treated by special facilities is 100 becquerels per kilogram. ..Japon, 11 avril 2018.Issu de la série « Contaminations » .Seuls les champs et un périmètre de 20 mètres autour des zones d'habitation font l'objet de décontamination.

Micro plastics are plastic flakes of a size less than 5 mm originating from the fragmentation or splitting of large plastics such as bags, straws, sachets, diapers and plastic wrap or utensils made of plastic.

Bauxite mining in Pahang state will be suspended for three months starting 15 January, to counter pollution and illegal mining, Malaysia's Natural Resources and Environment Minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said during a press conference in Kula Lumpur the same day.

MICROPLASTIC BOBBLE, SEM

Microplastic bobble. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a microplastic bobble from a poly-cotton garment. Bobbles (pilling or linting) are essentially damaged fibres that are pulled or torn from clothing and get caught back up in the fibres of the garments in washing machines or dryers or are shed into the environment. Collectively, every time we wash millions of pieces of these microplastics escape into the environment. Microfibers account for 85 percent of global shoreline pollution, and are responsible for most microplastic pollution in our waterways and oceans. The enormous surface area of microfibers attracts and adsorbs large amounts of toxins that they come into contact with. Animals ingest these hazardous chemicals along with the fibers themselves, and then humans ingest them when they eat those animals. Magnification: x160 when printed 10 centimetres wide.
