Chemical are destroying the ecosystems of oceans

Have you ever thought about how many chemicals are deposited into natural waters day after day? Chemicals from cosmetics, detergents, medicine, waste materials and industrial activities and some of the slowly degradable plastics are deposited in nature without any control and cause damage with results which are hard to estimate.

Cosmetics containing tiny plastic particles for scrubbing skin or teeth are being removed from shelves in an increasing number of countries all over the world, yet there are additional chemicals used in the cosmetics industry which end up in the living organisms of oceans.

Recently, Australian wildlife organisation WWF brought attention to the fact that the bloodstream of turtles living in the World Heritage site of the Great Barrier Reef of Australia show traces of countless chemicals - these animals are far more sensitive than any devices in showing all the materials polluting our environment.
The compounds ailing the examined turtles were all deposited in the ocean through human activity.

These include oxybenzone, a compound used in various sunscreens (this is one of the compounds of so-called chemical sunscreens), which damage the development of coral reefs.
