概括
塑料袋政策,如禁令和税收, 显著减少海上的塑料垃圾. 这项研究显示,在有政策的地区,在清理过程中发现的塑料袋数量减少了25-47%.
科学领域:
- 环境科学
- 保护生物学
- 环境政策
背景情况:
- 塑料污染对海洋和淡水生态系统构成重大威胁.
- 塑料袋政策 (禁令和税收) 在减少塑料垃圾方面的有效性尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 评估塑料袋政策对海岸线塑料垃圾的影响.
- 提供这些政策在减轻污染方面的有效性.
主要方法:
- 我们利用了来自美国45,067个海岸线清理的公民科学数据.
- 分析了在不同地理范围内实施的不同塑料袋政策的数据.
主要成果:
- 塑料袋政策减少了25%至47%的塑料袋作为收集的垃圾总量的比例.
- 与单独的禁令相比,塑料袋税可能会进一步减少海岸线垃圾.
结论:
- 塑料袋政策在缓解海岸线塑料污染方面是有效的.
- 这些发现支持实施塑料袋政策, 打击水生环境中的塑料垃圾.

Plasticizers
116
Water-reducers, or plasticizers, are chemical admixtures used in concrete to improve strength and workability. These additives reduce the water-cement ratio without compromising workability, lower the cement content while maintaining the same workability, or increase workability to assist concrete placement in inaccessible areas.
Plasticizers function by using surface-active agents to create repulsive electrostatic forces between cement particles. This dispersion enhances the concrete's...
