You will discover remains of beauty products in a place as remote as Antarctica





So far believed that the lotions, creams and other beauty products is degraded over time, but it seems that this is not true given the location of small amounts of volatile cyclic metilsiloxanos in soil samples, plants and also in krill and phytoplankton in various places in Antarctica using gas chromatography techniques.

The discovery has been made by the team of the CSIC, which has published their results in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.

The impact of these chemicals on the environment is still unknown, and there is no explanation of why the chemicals will not break down in the atmosphere by radicals of hydroxyl highly reactive, which is what the majority of the scientific community thought that it went.

What yes has been mapped a proposed how have come these products to such remote places on Earth: after evaporating, the remains remained in the atmosphere where they mixed with the precipitation of snow. To melt the snow on the ground, products returned to the ground, reaching new plants or the sea.
