From New Atlas:
New type of marine plastic degrades quickly under ultraviolet
light
Nick Lavars
21 April 2020
One of the grave problems with plastic waste in the ocean is not
just the mess it creates today, but the mess it might leave for
centuries to come. Scientists at Cornell University have been
working on more environmentally friendly forms of plastic for the
fishing industry, and have come up with a new material that
offers comparable strength to today's solutions but can break
down much more quickly when exposed to UV light.
According to the research team, the commercial fishing industry
contributes around half of the floating plastic waste in the
oceans. Be it through fishing nets, lines or ropes, the plastics
used for these materials are not ones that easily degrade.
Fishing line in particular has a long life in the marine
environment, taking up to 600 years to biodegrade, far longer
than plastic bags, which take around 20 years.
The Cornell scientists have been investigating a type of plastic
called isotactic polypropylene oxide, or iPPO, as a greener
alternative. While its origins date back to 1949, the team has
been tweaking the recipe over the last 15 years as a way of
optimizing its mechanical strength, while increasing the rate at
which it degrades.
Through this long period of trial and error, the team came up
with a mix of ingredients, or different variations of iPPO, that
could be synthesized along a singular architecture to produce the
desired results. The new form of iPPO is stable during ordinary
use, acting as a durable thermoplastic for fishing purposes, but
degrading far more quickly in the right conditions.
"We have created a new plastic that has the mechanical properties
required by commercial fishing gear," says lead researcher Bryce
Lipinski. "If it eventually gets lost in the aquatic environment,
this material can degrade on a realistic time scale. This
material could reduce persistent plastic accumulation in the
environment."
In laboratory testing, the team found that after 30 days of
continuous UV light exposure, the polymer chains making up the
plastic had degraded to one quarter of their original length. The
end game for the researchers, however, is to develop a polymer
that degrades entirely. While the work continues toward that
objective, their new iPPO is a promising step in that direction.
The research was published in the journal American Chemical
Society.

From Science News:
Unlike Earth, the gases in Venus' atmosphere aren't uniformly
mixed
MESSENGER data surprisingly show different nitrogen
concentrations at different altitudes
Maria Temming
20 April 2020
A new look at the nitrogen on Venus may overturn a decades-old
assumption about the planet's atmosphere.
Scientists long thought that atmospheric turbulence would create
a uniform mixture of gases in Venus's atmosphere below an
altitude of about 100 kilometers. That's how it works on Earth.
But data from NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft now indicate that this
part of Venus' atmosphere contains layers of gas with different
nitrogen concentrations, researchers report online April 20 in
Nature Astronomy.
The unexpected stratification of Venus's atmosphere may serve as
a cautionary tale for astronomers analyzing the atmospheres of
planets around other stars, says Patrick Peplowski, a physicist
at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel,
Md. The new results suggest that observations of a planet's upper
atmosphere from afar don't necessarily reflect conditions closer
to the surface.
Peplowski and colleagues analyzed measurements of neutrons
escaping from Venus' atmosphere made by MESSENGER as it flew by
the planet in 2007. Neutrons are produced by galactic cosmic rays
hitting gas in Venus' atmosphere between about 60 and 90
kilometers off the ground. Since nitrogen tends to absorb
neutrons, the number of neutrons that escape reveal nitrogen
content.
Gas at altitudes from 60 to 90 kilometers must contain about 5
percent nitrogen to create the neutron counts measured by
MESSENGER, computer simulations showed. In contrast, space probes
in the 1970s measured a nitrogen concentration of about 3.5
percent closer to Venus' surface, at altitudes below 45
kilometers.
It's not yet clear why nitrogen in the upper atmosphere is more
abundant than in the lower atmosphere. But the apparent divide
between nitrogen layers overlaps with a persistent blanket of
sulfur dioxide clouds about 50 kilometers above the ground,
Peplowski says. "I do wonder if it's a coincidence, or if the
same processes that form that cloud deck are responsible for
somehow separating the lower and upper atmospheres."
