Precision and accuracy are completely different concepts. Let's explore what they really mean, and how to tell the difference. 1  Resolution is the fineness to which an instrument can be read.  Precision is the fineness to which an instrument can be read repeatably and reliably.
1980s & 90s-High Performance Plastics. 1980 - First production of linear low density polyethylene. 1980 - First Blue HDPE pressure pipes for potable water introduced into UK. 1982 - First artificial heart made mainly of polyurethane, introduced implanted in a human.
Trash Travels estimates that plastic bags can take 20 years to decompose, plastic bottles up to 450 years, and fishing line, 600 years; but in fact, no one really knows how long plastics will remain in the ocean. With exposure to UV rays and the ocean environment, plastic breaks down into smaller and smaller fragments. The majority of the plastic found in the ocean are tiny pieces less than 1 cm. in size, with the mass of 1/10 of a paper clip.
