Pollution levels on Lake Geneva’s beaches are alarming, partly due to high levels of microplastic fibres, a French-Swiss monitoring body said Tuesday.
Experts took samples from 25 French and Swiss beaches of Western Europe’s largest lake, which stretches across France and Switzerland. A majority of the detected particles were smaller than 2.5 mm. Food packaging, cigarette butts and industrial plastic granules were the most frequently identified sources of waste.A previous study by Cipel on the fragmentation of plastics found a “significant bioaccumulation of microplastics in Lake Geneva fish”.
