[Plastic microparticles found in Antarctic snowfall]
Researchers at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand collected fresh snow samples from 19 sites on Ross Island in Antarctica and found that each snow sample contained microplastics. The researchers found that each liter of melted snow contained an average of 29 microplastics. They also identified 13 different types of plastic, the most common of which is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is mainly used in soft drink bottles and clothing. The researchers found the plastic in 79 percent of snowfall samples. Previous studies have found microplastic pollution in Antarctic sea ice and surface waters, but this is the first report of microplastics in Antarctic snowfall.
[FTC considers restricting use of non-compete clauses]
According to The Wall Street Journal, FTC Chairman Lina Khan said the FTC is considering a new rule to limit the use of non-compete clauses by companies that Khan said would hurt low-wage workers and could stifle competition for talent. In addition to the regulations, Khan said the FTC also plans to take enforcement action against the use of non-compete clauses in individual cases. Non-compete clauses generally prohibit employees from joining a rival firm for a period of time after resignation. Such clauses have long been reserved for higher-paid regular employees, but companies are now increasingly making them a condition of hiring hourly workers. Critics say such restrictions could stifle pay growth and employment flexibility for low-wage workers, who can’t seek better pay or promotion by switching jobs between competing companies.
