How Climate Change Intensifies Chemical and Plastic Pollution in Water Systems

Climate change doesn’t only melt glaciers — it magnifies water contamination. Rising temperatures, droughts, and floods accelerate the breakdown of plastics, releasing micro- and nanoplastic fragments into rivers and aquifers

A Warming Planet, a Toxic CycleClimate change doesn’t only melt glaciers — it magnifies water contamination. Rising temperatures, droughts, and floods accelerate the breakdown of plastics, releasing micro- and nanoplastic fragments into rivers and aquifers. According to Nature Climate Change (2024), extreme heat and UV radiation increase polymer degradation by over 60 %, while storm […]
