Entire ocean polluted by micro-plastic, research finds

Research has found that traces of micro-plastic contamination can be found in almost every corner of the planet, putting life on earth at future risk. The contamination has been labelled 'catastrophic' for human health and is slowly 'killing the human race', a doctor and environmental organisation have warned. The data was gathered by the yacht Turn The Tide On Plastic, one of seven boats competing in the current edition of the extreme round-the-world sailing event.
