Masks at sea: alarm

Ispra estimates for the whole year 2020 between 160 thousand and 440 thousand tons of anti Covid devices will have to be considered like separated waste. If only 1% of the masks used in a month would be disposed in inappropriate way,  more than 10 million masks per month will be dispersed in the environment.
