Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #37347 Egg whites
Instructions
Microplastics  in  recent  years  have  taken  front  and  center  as  a  massive  environmental  problem    havoc  on  ecosystems  in  even  the  most  remote  areas  of  the  planet.  In  fact,  since  plastic  is  not  decomposable,  environmental  scientists  have  been  scrambling  to  come  up  with  ways  to    the  planet  of  microplastics  and  keep  our  waterways  clean.  And  they  have  successfully  used  egg  whites  to  create  a  lightweight  and  porous  aerogel  material  that  can  be  used  in  several  ways,  including  water  filtration,  energy  storage,  and  sound,  as  well  as  insulation.  The  structure  has  the  ability  to  remove  both  salt  and  microplastics  from  seawater  in  remarkable  ways,  doing  so  with  98%  and  99%  efficiency,  .  And  the  experiments  were  done  with  regular  store-bought  eggs,  which  means  that  future  work  can  be  done  in  a  cost-effective  way.  The  only  issue  with  this  is  that  there  would  be  such  a  large  demand  for  eggs  that  it  could  possibly  outcompete  the  food  industry.  Once  this  is  tackled,  using  these  structures  will  work    as  an  effective,  energy-efficient,  and  cost-effective  method.
