- Antarctic animals and sea birds can inhale them

New delhi date. 28 November 2022, Monday

Plastic pollution in the Antarctic is now as bad as anywhere on Earth. Scientists have found artificial microplastics in air, seawater, sediment and ice near the South Pole. The Oxford University team found microplastics in air, seawater and sea ice in the Waddell Sea near the South Pole. This is a form of fibrous polyester, which originates from fabrics made from synthetic materials such as polyester and acrylic. Most of the microfibers were found in air samples, meaning Antarctic animals and seabirds could have inhaled them.

Image
Taking advantage of Twitter company's name change and other major upheavals last year, Meta Company launched a new social platform ' Threads ' almost like Twitter. When the Threads service launched in July 2023, it was launched along the lines of the already hugely popular Instagram to give it a large user base from the start. Hence, if we have an Instagram account, we can sign-up in the threads from it and the Instagram username and followers are also added to the threads. Due to this the threads got a very fast growth initially. In the first month itself , in fact in the first five days, the number of its users reached the mark of 10 crores.

New ray of hope in UPI system

Image
- UPI is likely to undergo significant changes related to safety - In a country like India, it is not like giving the facility of rupee transactions to billions of people. - The UPI system itself is safe, but if the people themselves are oblivious or the crooks prove to be smarter, fraud occurs. - Efforts are now being made to avoid human errors, which will hopefully make the system safer. Well, authorities in France, Sri Lanka and Mauritius are also starting to like the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) for money transactions. This system is certainly revolutionary, hence its use in India is steadily increasing. But now, after long usage of UPI, many people are afraid to use it, so many people are afraid to stay away from it till now.
