The term "ocean pollution" often brings to mind images of #straws, #bottles, and other #plastic #trash. #Cigarette filters, however, are also an incredibly detrimental form of #waste that hasn't been given the attention it merits. The filters release pollutants from the #smoke such as #nicotine, arsenic, and lead — which are consumed by various #sea creatures and which end up in our own #food again. #Oceans #Pollution #Beach #wildlife #Life
