Crabs Reveal a Scary Plastic Problem

Scientists just found microplastics inside mitten crabs, and it’s worse than you think. Turns out, low pH levels (thanks to ocean acidification) make these tiny plastics even more toxic, messing with the crabs’ immune systems and gut health. It’s like a double whammy for aquatic life! With plastic waste piling up and oceans getting more acidic, these issues are only getting bigger. If you needed another reason to ditch single-use plastics, this is it! #Science #Microplastics #OceanHealth
