Curt Ebbesmeyer, a Seattle oceanographer who has spent decades tracking flotsam said the the debris will likely hit Washington, Oregon and California and will be carried by ocean current towards Hawaii and back to Asia.
“Ebbesmeyer, who has traced Nike sneakers, plastic bath toys and hockey gloves accidentally spilled from Asia cargo ships, is now tracking the massive debris field moving across the Pacific Ocean from Japan. He relies heavily on a network of thousands of beachcombers such as Anderson to report the location and details of their finds”, Philstar.com reports.
“If you put a major city through a trash grinder and sprinkle it on the water, that’s what you’re dealing with,” he said.
As to whether any of the debris might be radioactive from the devastation at Japanese nuclear power plants, James Hevezi, chair of the American College of Radiology Commission on Medical Physics, said there could be, the report added.
