Scientists have discovered a fungus that eats PU plastic in a Pakistani dump.

The environmental damage caused by plastics has always been the focus of many people's attention, but the problem is expected to be solved because foreign research teams recently discovered a fungus that feeds on plastic in a dump in Pakistan's capital.
Team of nine researchers from Pakistan and China found a fungus called Aspergillus tubinsis in a dump that biodegrades "polyester polyurethanes Dr Sehroon Khan, lead author of the
study and a member of the World Centre for Mixed Agriculture and Forestry and the Kunming Institute of Biological Research, said the team had spent a long time looking for ways to degrade the plastic particles that are now "in existence in nature" and had recently come to fruition.
"We decided to take random samples from the garbage dump in Islamabad to see if there was anything 'dining' on plastic, like organic matter eating on dead plants and animals." After
"discovered Tabin mold, the team looked at it in three environments and tried to find the ideal environmental conditions for the most effective decomposition of the PU, and found that in the case of biodegradation, the best was the SDA, followed by liquid and soil.
without any external force, the plastic itself takes decades to break down, and even the decomposition process can be very threatening to human life in situations where carcinogens and other deadly pollutants can be carried.
the discovery ofis a good way to address this threat, and by using the fungus through waste disposal sites, plastic particles may no longer contaminate water and soil.
