Toxic chemicals from plastic waste are entering the food Kenyans eat through seafood, the Kenya Coalition to End Plastic Pollution has warned.
In a statement on Thursday, June 18, marking the conclusion of the 11th Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa, toxic chemicals and microplastics are contaminating marine ecosystems, food systems and communities, said the coalition.
Plastic accounts for 80 per cent of marine litter worldwide, according to the coalition.
