I was editing and didn't see your post.
It seems unreasonable to me that a recent product is capable of such insidious destruction, over such a long short period of time, without many continual warnings noticed by at least thousands of people.
Its worth noting that the 90% figure is for table salt brands, and only those sampled. You're probably right about the numbers being somewhat inflated, but considering that most table salt is distilled from seawater, I think that's pretty strong evidence that most bodies of salt water are contaminated.
I think if you took only samples from dry sources of salt, this number would be much lower.
Well, lucky you have Greenpeace to promote studies that point out the bleeding obvious.
Where have you been for all those articles talking about microplastic pollution in drinking water, and even the air. Surely you know about plastic pollution in the ocean? This was also news recently, though I didn't deem it interesting enough to post.
In the 100 years of plastic's history, somehow it managed to infect 90% of the earth's salt.
Yes, that's quite reasonable.
Greenpeace study.
