Nicknamed "Night Robbery" because it has the highest crime rate on the continent, Nairobi is not a relaxed place in which to clear customs with a load of plastic suitcases filled with movie-camera equipment and reels of film.
One of the greatest uncertainties is whether this leads to the bioaccumulation of the contaminant load (absorbed and plastic additives), and hence whether micro-plastics represent an additional and significant vector for transferring pollutants.
